well when my pads need replacing i will get the AEM High Performance Brake Pads...they have it on the website
Key Features:
# Guaranteed to outperform O.E. pads and fit perfectly every time.
# Work with O.E. brake systems and are ideal for AEM Big Rotor Brake Systems
# Non-ferrous metal compound is non-corrosive, won't deteriorate brake components
# Light colored dust does not show on wheels
# Low squeal properties

you can get them on ebay for like 40 bucks....so yeah you still going to the junkyard tomorrow?

I bought Raybestos Quiet Stop pads at Pep Boys last year. They were kind of pricey at $60, but they are MUCH cleaner that what I used for the last 15 years. They are ceramic, by the way, and the front wheels stay pretty clean.

I use the same pads in both our trucks and the honda and we havent had any problems with dusting or noise.
They are a good pad and worth it in my opinion...

Maybe it's just me, But performance wise The OEM honda pads seem to work the best if you have a stock brake system with no mods. They aren't the cleanest though.

i've got raybestos quiet stops and my rims get filthy! granted i have white wheels, it's an absolute brake dust nightmare. if they are cleaner i'd hate to see how bad others get.

I rarely wash my wheels and don't notice the dust from my AEMs. The pad material is gray to I would expect the dust to blend right in on aluminum wheels.

www.buybrakes.com had the best price I could find, but I was shopping for the AEM pads and standard Brembo rotors.

i've been told by people with mostly exotic cars like ferrari, porsche and other european sports cars that the EBC pads are great. not only do the stop great but they are fairly priced. also read magazine articals and publishings about them that showed them to perform to high standards. i'm still yet to try them out. i needed new pads yesterday but didnt want to wait on getting them ordered so i got regular semi metalic pads, they dust hella!

well i saved my self like $60 and got the brembo oem rotor's amd the aem pad's for $100 and im sure the brembos will do just as good as the powerslots

did you have the brembo OEMs machined to have the slots or anything? i thought about doing that to the vented disks at a machine shop.

no but i thnk they will do the job just fine if i dont like them ill prolly keep them as spares or sell them for a resanable price but they should be just as good as the power slots minus the slots
