Brake Pads
Getting ready to install turbo brakes in my project, but need to get a set of pads. Anyone have suggestion on a decent set that will give better than stock performance, but won't make me grit my teeth at every stop and cover my wheels with a fine black powder? I'll be running drilled Zimmerman rotors as well. Thanks

A set of cheap mintex pads should do just fine (under $30!), considering this is quite the brake upgrade. Unless you're doing something crazy to the engine too, it would not be a problem.

I just installed a set of Hawk HPS pads last weekend. They are supposed to be good for street and "light" track and autocross. So far so good from what I can tell ...

Another vote for Ferodo street pads here. Good for street and auto-x.
