They are fairly nice.... but only a tad better than the QuietStop Ceramics the previous owner had put in... I dont think Id buy them again, there are more pads out there that grip hella better than them.
It all depends on what you want and how you drive. The HPS is about the best all-around pad. It has low dust, low noise, good durability and good stopping. If you want a higher temp pad, go to the HP or HP+. The Brembos will stop a bit faster for a low temp pad, but they dust 4-5 times as much as the HPS ones. Redstuff is another good spirited driving/light track pad - low dust, but it will make a little nioise at low speeds.

If you want more bite, your best bet is to get a good slotted rotor. IMO, flat is fine.

Ah so you got a radar detector... I was going to get that one too until I decided its just cheaper to slow down.
Yup. Im not gonna use it much in my town. Its mainly gonna be for the highways.
Considering that you have to take rt. 23 to get anywhere, that means that it will be on all the time.

Lol. If im driving around my town at night, its gonna have to be off because the cops will find absolutely every reason to pull anyone over. My friend got a $43 ticket at 3am in my town for having an air freshener hanging down from his mirror. Is that justice?!?!?!

Compared to the DUI ticket from swerving after leaving a bar???

Cops generally pull people over for driving like a deuche. I actually drive a -kids- car and I haven't been pulled over at all .... yet. You drive -Grandmas Grocery Getter-!!!

LOL .... I got 3 warnings and 2 tickets before I peeled the front tints off of the Accord ..... too much hassle. And they were only 35%.

Wow lol. I didnt know there was a ticket for unnecessary acceleration. I though as long as you went to the speed limit and stopped it was fine....
