Brake Pads?

So which pads do you guys think are the best for the money?
I'll be using them with cross brilled rotors, stainless lines and stock callipers
And i'll using it for daily driving and auto cross.

I dont mind my Metal Masters... Good road manners, and they do have more bite than stockers.

Hawk Hp + and you'll be happy...do not get the cross drilled rotors, big waste of money....Especially if ur gonna be using them with Hawk Hp Plus pads, they're gonna warp fast, especially in auto cross.

Yeah, any time you drill holes in metal you weaken the structure and strength of the whole piece. Hondas have good brakes and are so light that there is no need to disapating heat through holes in a rotor. A $10 brake duct will do 10X more cooling anyway.

In terms of pads, the HP+s are solid street and autocross pads. You can't really go wrong with them. If you have more money to spend and looking for more response and brake feel I LOVE the Project U Street/Track pads and have just broken in a set of Gransport GS3s and have to say they are amazing too. They are harder on rotors but for that kind of brake feel I think it's worth it.

WTZ can get you pluses, www.racing-depot.com can get you Gransports and Kensai Racing can get you project Us.
