Brake Pads?

[mdillian3690]

Only used for daily driving. Are these pads any good? Pelican Parts has them?

I'm using a set on my C2. I got them at Pelican parts. I started using the BHP pads for track, and got these as a cheap option to use on the street.

The bad news is that they are very hard. The performance is not great, and they are very hard on the rotors. I replaced the rotors at the same time as I put these pads on, and they grooved the rotors in less than 9 months. Not to mention the noise... (altough I re-use the vibration liners, so they aren't glued to the pads).

I'm not going to buy them again. I don't have a better option yet. The BHP pads dust way too much and wear way too fast for the street. I'm thinking of going to another OEM vendor for street pad use (probably Pagid).

Thanks!

Just spoke to rep yesterday and they told me soft on rotors. wow! I appreciate your response. What other brand do you recommend, without breaking the bank?

You might try calling Pelican and describe what you are looking for. They have always been pretty helpful with me.

Try EBC Yellowstuff. I have them on one of my cars and love them so much I'm replacing the Pagids on my P-car (when they wear out).

Fantastic cold bite...possibly a little much if you aren't ready for it but not bad once you get used to them. The fade is non-existent. The modulation is fantastic. The noise is absolutely nil. The rotor wear is the same or better than stock. And the price is absolutely right.

Any recommendation to where to buy them?

I've been using www.ajusa.com to get a lot of stuff. I looked for them on their site using a 2001 996 as the car since I don't know which year yours is. They have them for front and rear, and two different ones for the front depending on your engine.

The 121mm fronts are 97.81 and the rears are 141.21 per set. Fortunately, we don't go through rears that often. They're slightly MORE expensive for my Boxster, but still a hell of a lot cheaper than Pagid and the performance is fantastic.

Don't know yet, I just ordered a set..

I couldn't resist, at that price..

Be careful in ordering from Pelican Parts ---- they sent the correct sensors - but wrong front brakes.
