i have a set of hps pads on order and im thinking about going with brembo blanks. anyone have this combo? how well do they stop? and squealing issues? hows the brake dust?
right now i have a set of satisfied pro ceramic pads with drilled bremobs. ever since i installed them, ive been getting a ton of squeal from my brakes. its very loud and very annoying. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

I have HPS pads on irotors drilled and slotted rotors. pretty quiet, and they stop great! but they do make quite a bit of dust, especially on my front wheels.

Whats wrong with Toyota pads? Why not some Brembo blanks and a set of Toyota pads?

toyota pads are probably over priced, and under perform.....
I think you're getting squealing as a result of the pads....crossed drilled rotors (i didn't know brembo made them) don't produce the squeal. |

I think you're getting squealing as a result of the pads....crossed drilled rotors (i didn't know brembo made them) don't produce the squeal. its all about the combo tho. if you read tirerack reviews, some people with different pad/rotor combo's have squeal and some dont. im also looking to replace the rotors because they are starting to warp. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

I have brembo blanks and axxis ultimate pads and they stop on a dime. They do squeal a tad though, so I was going to add another coat of antisqueal and properly bed the pads. Would it be better to 40-10 x10 or 60-30, 50-20, 40-10 x 10 each to bed the pads? and how long for cooldown inbetween each?
