well i got alot of my new mods installed and discovered that i wasnt done yet

newly installed:
ss dcrh
2.5" midpipe
buddy club n+
spc front/rear camber kit
205/55/15 yoko s. drive tires
5w30 RP and mobil 1 m1-110 filter

now i come to learn that i need new brake pads...so im looking for input on which ones to get...my car is a daily driver but i might take it to a road course this season..

what pads do you think i should get and should i change my brake fluid?

i want pads that offer good stopping power, low dust and low noise

i have satisfied gransport 6s right now. i cant complain. they are quiet and bite just fine. you can find them on tire rack for $50 for an axle set(four pads)

my brakes had gone to shit, so i was in a bind, and pepboys only had the front hawk hps they didnt have the rears and couldnt get them till thursday which is too far away...so i ended up getting pro stop ceramic pads for the front and rear...ill let you guys know how they work out..so far they seem to be good..but its still too early to tell

I just replaced my brakes I ordered new rotors also. I got them from buybrakes.com Power slot crypto rotors and hawk HPS pads and then some ss lines while I was at it. I installed at my dads house (where all the tools are at) took my about 5 hour to complete and bleed the lines with some DOT 4 . Now it is such a hugh difference in the way it feels when I brake its so great! smooth and strait and quite with all the stop ing power I will ever need.
