brakes question

[So Breazy]

So, my brakes are very soft on my 94 rs so I believe it may be time to replace the brake pads. What is a good brand of pad to go with? As well what else should I do to insure my brakes function properly? ( I'm VERY crazy when it comes to my brakes&tires )

If you dont bring your car to the track, just go with sports brake pads from kragen/autozone.

make sure its the brake pads and you dont have a leak or something.

X2 pads have nothing to do with pedal feel your master is probably going bad.
Good luck
I use centric ceramic pads on my car and love them.

What would a good pad/rotor combo be for a dd? Mine are starting to rust from my car sitting for so long + they were already soft to begin with.

if its a daily driver.... then you dont need anything special... go with mid grade pads/rotors from autozone or any parts store....

Sorry I should have been more specific. I plan on doing the basic I/H/E maybe a few more minor things. Would this effect what I want to buy even if I'm not tracking it?

No. I would get a HAWK HPS pad for a pad and a brembo blank or a powerslot rotor but FOR SURE i would get stainless steel lines. Either way its a good upgrade for stop and go traffic. it gives a more constant brake pedal feeling. I highly recomend that set up for a street car.

the last time i changed by pads and rotors i got all autozone stuff. they work well, gotta admit, but brake dust is inevitable with autozone brakes.
i heard good reviews of Hawk HPS because it good gives performance without leaving too much brake dust. brembo blanks are nice too.

you cant use dust to measure if the pads are good or not. my hawk HP+ pads make my gold wheels brown on a track day.

Hawk HPS for street use.

I read somewhere on the forum that hawk hps may cause rotor warpage if not used with slotted rotors? Can anyone confirm or deny?

I'm currently planning on going with hawkhps with brembo blanks
