What is the best brake pads you can get for our cars? I would prefer something dustless because I hate dirty wheels. Thanks.

 

JohnnySC:
The pads I just got in for the SC400 are as follows...

Fronts:
EBC Green Stuff Kevlar Carbon pads, model DP 21007 (TireRack)

Rears:
KVR Performance Sport Carbon Kevlar Fibre Model M7452 (CyberAuto)

I cannot say they are the "Best" but they are dustless, are designed to bite quickly when cold (street use). These will be used with nickle plated (brite) slotted and drilled rotors and Stainless braided brake lines (CyberAuto). The whole shebang will be installed this spring.

 

i need to get some new ones too, what do you think of the ones from lexussc400.com, are they the same as factory, and how easy are they to install, can you do it your self or not really

 

Easy. Jack the car up take the wheel off, loosen two 15 mm bolts, take the caliper out, take the pads out. If you don't have to turn the rotors slap the new pads in. Clean the two pins behind the two bolts you just took out , regrease the pins with hi temp grease, tight the caliper bolts to 22 in-lbs put the wheel back go on the the next wheel.
