I know there are many threads on brake pads, but what I want to know is what is the best replacement for for the ISF for the everyday guy using the stock rotors...i.e. just a pad change?
I am about at the point I need to put some new pads one but not sure which ones. I don't track my car, but like to have an occasional street "battle".
I know that Napa has some stock replacements that seem to be ok. I think Hawk might also have a set too. I don't want to spend big bucks on pads for a purpose I will never use them for. I am doing the front this time and will do the backs in about 5k miles.
Also do you reuse the stock pad shims when using these other pads? Do you also use the anti seize or brembo lube when using these non stock pads?

Also I would use brake pad grease as well, it can do a great deal in minimizing daily brake pad noise.
I hope this helps you out!

I'd say this depends heavily on the track and the driver. They will melt at Autobahn or CMP if you're carrying any speed at all.

I work in Monterey Park and live in Fullerton so I'll be happy to take them off your hands.
