Thread: Brake pads and shoes.

What brands and types of pads have your guys and girls been using on the comp G and GXP's. aka ceramic or semi-metallic, GM, Green-stuff, hawk,
AND does anyone know how close the Comp G brakes and GXP brakes are?

I got the GM Durastop semi metalic pads on mine. Mainly for the reason that for GM Pads they are pretty cheap, and they stop on a dime. Yeah, they make a lot of dust, but I"m not totally about beautification.....Brakes are worth every penny you spend on them, and if a dirty old semi metallic will stop better than ceramic and I can afford it? I'm gonna go with the dirty brakes every time.

I have, however, heard great things about the Hawk Ceramic pads. I just never dropped the coin on them.

When I done my brakes a couple months ago, I done the front and back at the same time with Duralast Cmax pads. THEY SUCK. I cant stand them, they dont have any bite at all and are not as low dusting as I thought they would be. I have been seriously thinking about going back to the Performance Friction pads or the stockers. I just hate wasting money like that, but I like a little bite to the brakes. I dont know, tax time is coming, but I would rather take the money and put it towards something else. The Raybestos Quiet stop brakes are very overpriced and not that good either. I guess I am just not a fan of Ceramic.

I've never been impressed with the Delco ceramic pads either. Had them for a little while, and a couple of high speed stops made them glaze so bad I ended up almost standing on the pedal.

i know i wont use and duralast product. but thats me. i like the stock pads they seem good. I was thinking hawk or EBC
