I have heard so many different brands of brake pads that will work great on s5 rx7 with all 4 rotors, but what is the top one??? like performance wise cuz i liek to play on the safe side more than anythin and with speed u gotta have somethin to slow you down



what do you reccomend and what not to get????

 

I'd go with the softest material, so you don't replace rotors like pads

 

yeah but softet doesnt mean fastest stoping or durability

 

I think the Hawk pads are good for the money. I am running the HP Plus compound on the fronts which is a street/track pad and the HPS pads in the rear which is a high performance street compound. They are not too expensive either at Tire Rack.

 

Poterfield R4S pads are great, and not hard on the rotors.

 

I have axxis metal masters myself, I dont have stock brake rotors though.

 

:bigthumg:

 

i have found EBC green stuff up front and Bendix Titanium in the back work great against rear lockup under threshhold braking



the reason behind this is because the bendix have a little less initial torque and you dont need good rear brake pads for the street..unless you are driving to a road course



:edit:...this is assuming that you have 4-piston calipers in the front

 

also make sure that your brake lines are good....get goodRidge stainless DOT lines or Raybestos PG rubber lines
