Those w/ LS400 fronts, what pads to use?
Hey guys,
My car came with LS400 calipers/rotors when I bought the car. Now it's time to replace them due to wear. I'll be ordering the rotors from Tirerack but am looking for some good pads to go w/ it. What kind of pads is everyone using when upgrading to the LS400 brakes? I come from using HPS and HP Plus on my BMW M3 but not quite sure if there are good "performance" pads for the LS. Thanks.

I am using Ceramic Pads on my LS400 brakes to save the rotors, wheels, and to keep noise levels to a minimum.
All in all, Endless makes the best performance pad (even a performance ceramic) for the 95-00 LS400. They run ~$200/axle, but they are top of the world in terms of the pad characteristics. They can be had at horsepowerfreaks.com.

+1... when I had my stock calipers, I put some HP racing pads on it thinking it would do something but all it did was make it noisy with 3 times as much brake dust... but the Axxis pads I had on the rear were the
