Shopping around for Brake pads for TRD BBK...

[SooRunner]

So I'm looking for a set of pads for my TRD BBK (aka Stoptech ST-40). I just wanna have one sitting in my garage in case one day I need to replace my pads on the spot cuz those rotors are expensive and not worth having it eaten up metal to metal.

What do you guys recommend...I want the stopping power but way less brake dust than what I am running now... I don't even wash my rims cuz within 1 hour of driving all that brake dust is there again.

Please post up any good cheap sites that carry these pads. I might just order 1-3 sets just to have.

EBC? Axxis? OEM?

Thanks for the link ChristDenied!

Anyone try Hawk and EBC?

Might pick up a set of EBC Red Stuff...A little bit cheaper but I wonder how it compare to Hawks. I've heard good things about both though.

No problem Ben. So I take it that link had some pad options for ur brakes?

 

[SooRunner]

Yea it gave me window shopping ideas on what to use next...cuz the ones that came with the TRD BBK dusts like no tomorrow! I wonder what pad it is.

Talk to Gadget he has tested a few pads and I think he's running pad that has decent bite minus brake dust.

Are those the original ones that come with the TRD brake kit?

If so..I'm not really interested cuz they dust like no tomorrow. Thanks!

I have the TRD BBK and I use Hawk HPS brake pads. I cross referenced the Stoptech size to the Auto Anything web site. They aren't cheap - but they work great and no dust.

Here are a couple links:

They only automobile that this website recognizes them for is the 1991 Porsche 928 GT. They dropped right in like Stoptech had made them. I will never use any other pads.
