Brake Pad difference
 
I'm looking for new pads on Napa's page and they have Organic and Metallic pads. What's the difference? Performance wise? Wear/fade wise? Which should I get? Mostly I just use my FC for a DD but sometimes I like to do some touge.

I think Metallic dusts more? I THINK Metallic is used for more heavy braking and doesn't need to heat up to be more effective or something like that..

Just get some Hawk HPS pads.

I don't have the green for Hawk pads. I would get them or Project Mu pads but yeah no Big Bens...

I'd reccomend ceramic pads, or organic, the metallic will wear quickly along with your rotors and probably be noisy and leave alot of dust.

Do you have the single piston brakes or 4 piston? I have a spare set of single piston organic pads from napa i dont need and i could sell you them for less than new. Never been used.

My project mu's are loud as hell but pretty effective. Probably not worth the 3 month wait tho...

I have the four piston. But yeah thanks for the help everybody, I guess I'll get the organics since I don't want my rotors to be worse than they already are. Thanks guys.
