Default New Brake Pads

Hi guys, I just installed my new brake pads this weekend. I went from Hawk Performance in the front and stock in the rear. Didn't like the Hawks so much. Lots of squeel and noise after track sessions. Now I'm running Endless CC-X street & Circuit pads. So far so good, these pads feel great and don't make a peep of noise. Stopping power is a big difference. Please post up what good experiences you've had with what brands.

I have PMU B Force on my Civic EG. Those feel nice also, but haven't taken those on the track yet. I should.

I ran my Porterfield R4 front and R4-S in the rear last weekend at Cali-Speedway infield.

Fade was minimal and it does squeal few days after the track but I re-greased the contact points last night and it went away. It generates lots of dust but they wash away with spray of water.

I still like it.

Have you flush your brake fluid yet?

Which endless pads? Vita Nuova? CC-A? CC-X? I noticed when I didn't use my stock shims on my Civic, DC2 5 lug conversion, it would make noise on my PMU b-force.

Probably going to do it his weekend. My stainless brake lines should be here by then. I still have the Valvaline Syn 500 degree right now. It did the job for button willow two weeks ago, but the Motul is 584 degrees so gonna change it out.

sort of off topic but when bleeding brake fluid saying changing from stock to motul do you just normally just take all the stock fluid out then put the new one in? because i am wondering how you take all the stock fluid out so the new fluid in there is 100% instead of 90/10
