EDIT: Wait... do you mean the front vs rear pads?

Original parts (more aggressive pads):
04465-0W191 Front
04466-0W070 Rear

Service Bulletin parts (less noise, maybe less performance):
04465-0W200 Front
04466-0W080 Rear

I’ll give you my answer. I like high performance cars because they are fun, not just engine but also suspension and brake performance. I don’t buy cheap street pads for high performance car because I know they are gonna ruin the feeling of high performance car for me. But I guess whatever floats your boat.

I assumed since I gave you the courtesy of answering your question that I had thought you intended to do the same. If not then never mind lol. The “cheap” Brembo pads are coming on this Saturday and I’ll write up an extensive review from bed in to stop and go traffic to highway to a decent canyon drive. I hope they don’t over heat and I wind up down a side of a mountain in flames.....then i guess you can say “I told you so”. LOL.

I want smiles when I step on the gas pedal, and I want the same when I step on the brakes (my standard here is equal or better than original OEM pads). So far, the arguments about street pads are that they are good enough for the streets, you won’t do repeated high speed stops on the street and it’s the tires that stop the car. All are valid arguments. But affordable street pads, most likely built with generic formula for “street driving”, on a 3900 lbs 467hp car, my logic just tells me that type of pads won’t give me the smiles I want out of my performance car. Now if I can’t get the smiles out of my performance car, then why bother driving it, maybe I am better off with a Civic.


BTW Thread title says “Brake pad decision. I want some opinions.”, here you go, my opinion right here.

You keep asking me about "repeated high speed stops", that I owe you an answer to this. I already gave you one, two times. Here's it is below. TLDR: I don't care about repeated high speed stops, that not what I do on the streets. I care about the feeling of high performance brakes, that's why I drive a high performance car.

Centric PQ come in different compound. Maybe u had ceramic compound on ur old PQ’s. Anyways, I don’t think there’s much to lose to try the PQ Pro’s, they are like $60
