    Considering brake pad upgrade

    I am considering upgrading my '07 Cal Special brake pads on the stock calipers and rotors. High Performance Street pads have come up.

    Have any of you done a similar upgrade and what pads did you go with or recommend and why.

    Also where did you buy them.

    Any input is welcome.

    Thanks!

    I like my bullitt pad's, they seem to have a good bite with little to no fade and hardly any dust but beware they are not cheap even with a club discount they will still be $120 if not more. You can find better pads (performance wise) for less I just wanted the best all around pad to use with the stock rotors because I always seem to hear of other pads eating rotors up or having to much dust.

    I replaced my brake pads with Autozone Duralast Gold Cmax pads last November because of the awful dust from the OEM pads. Been very pleased with them ... good braking performance for the street, quiet, inexpensive and best of all ... low dust.

    Have had great luck with EBC pads in the past, just steer clear of their rotors... was not impressed with those in the slightest bit.
