FINALLY AFTERMARKET PADS FOR STOCK CALIPERS - KHARTUNERZ

[Richard Smith]

What about rear rotors?

What about rear rotors?

They are smaller than front rotors. That's all I know.

What about rear rotors?

Rear brakes do far less work than front brakes, so they're less sensitive to pad quality.
The OE front rotors are fine. The OE pads have issues under hard use - they appear to make uneven deposits, have too low of a temp limit, something.
Aftermarket two piece rotors have general benefits like the vendors advertise.

I suppose the OEM pads may not fit some folks driving Style or activities, but mine have been good. A couple times I’ve had to come to 55-60mph to 0 in a heartbeat or I would be “that idiot” causing the SoCal 405 traffic jam!

Another customer just received his new rotors and pads

As for what about the rear rotors
IF the front rotors do "okay" at least in terms of sales
we will fork the money for R&D for the rears otherwise theres no need to waste our money if the community isnt even buying front rotors

I should finally have my Girodisc pads today. You all ship fast but FedEx takes their sweet ass'd time. Thanks for spoiling me, Amazon.

Did you end up installing?

Did you end up installing?

I did, actually.

I installed them last week and went out on the highway to properly bed them in.

They feel the same as OEM. They don't make any noise when I'm braking to slow down but occasionally when I brake to a complete stop I do get a little squeal.

As long as I don't have to buy new rotors in 5k miles to replace the ones Kia just fixed I'm happy.

Not sure if different country comes with different pads but for mine the disc are clean no uneven spots and brakes well with minimal brake dust. Not sure if they are ceramic but the dustless look after few hundred KMs between wash is pretty impressive yet with very good stopping power for fast road use.

Sure enough some after market pads will have better bite improvement but wonder if the brake modulation will be affected as the stock combo is pretty smooth with good brake pedal modulation.

Once the stock ones are worn probably can look into some aftermarket alternative. No rush though.

Glad that Girodisc started alternative pads and disc for replacement!

How is the one month brake evaluation? Noise, vibration, stopping power still good? I'm pulling the trigger this week on some new pads and I am looking for feedback.

The only change so far is the occasional noise is much more rare now.

 

[oddball]

Free bump - just saw you added some EBC options. Excellent!

 

[Zhear Ibrahim]

Which set would you recommend when paired with OEM rotors and why?

Are they all in stock right now?

Guys I have found the perfect replacement for the front pads of the stinger GT, I use the new Infiniti brake pads, they fit perfectly, and I haven’t had any problems with it

Part #? Model? Infinity makes a lot of cars.

Diggin up an old thread. I ordered the girodisc rotors. Was curious if the Hawk 5.0 pads will fit on these rotors or am I stuck with just the magic pads? Thanks for any help guys.

Pads don’t have to be the same brand as the rotor. You can use any aftermarket pad as long as it’s compatible with the calipers you have.

I wouldn't go with those Hawk pads unless you want a lot of noise and dust as they're a higher performance pad. My choice would be the Girodisc pads or the Stoptech's with the OEM rotors as they're more middle of the road with low noise/dust and decent performance. The Centric's might be ok but i'm guessing they won't grab as well as the OEM pads.

@NICK_KHAR interested to hear your opinion as well on which pad to pair with the OEM rotors

Would you pair them with r1 concepts ?
