Im still sort of a newbie and i know **** about breaks, but Ive got Powerslot brake rotors for my RX and I was wondering if theres any special kind of brake pads for the rotors. And about the 2-4 piston brake calipers I think I have 4 piston calipers in the front and 2 piston calipers in the back does that sound rite?

 

what year is your car? what trim? TII? help us out here

 

Im pretty sure as long as the rotors are stock size you dont need anything special. I think it really depends on what you want to do. If you want some very durable and cheap pads, just buy some stock pads. If you're looking for a pad with a little more initial "bite" maybe go for some nice endless or project mu pads. I feel brake pads are a personal preference, so deciding what is right for you is important. Of course the model of your car matters, but i think you were refering to more specifically the material used in pads. I know very little about specific material differences, so hopefully someone else can help you out.

 

My car iz a 87 n/a gxl with 5 lug not 4...so I dont need any metalic or semi-metalic pads or n e thing?

 

If you have a GXL with 5 lug you have 4 piston front calipers with SINGLE piston rear calipers.

Semi-metallics are good, such as axxis ones. That's what I used on my FC and was happy with them.

 

We use Hawk HPS with Powerslot rotors on our AE and like them just fine. Tried Hawk HP+ but they squealed like a stuck pig.

 

powerslots are tested to work best with PBR/Axxis pads.. so says the old PBR pad box..

 

So what if you sound like a school bus stopping....

The HP+ work so damn well!
