Brake pads

Yeah I went to NAPA to get their ceramic pads and there was no listing for an 87 and the parts guy was trying to convince me there was a difference. Just double checking.
Can anyone vouch for the PBR ceramic pads? I just noticed they are on sale at one of our vendors!

Never tried the PBR. I can say the SS ceramix from NAPA perform very well. It is the ones I run on my car. You really wanna be an ass to the guy at NAPA, go back and ask him why the base number on the pads are the same if there is really a difference. The explanation should be classic.
I'm running pbr ultimates right now.....they squeel, very dusty, but god damn do they stop good! Make sure you go threw a bedding stage cause they don't stop worth a damn unless you get them hot as hell
Once they bed in they are wicked! If I had to do it all over again I would have chamfered the edges to help them not squeel...

well I bought them from you LOL remember...now you have a review...I love them but after install it was scary driveing around trying to find a safe place to bed them in...even says on the box to bed in!
But the hotter I got them the harder they grabbed for me...I'll definetly buy them again....even the brembo rotors I bought from you I degreased and cleaned with denatured alcohol before install!
Great pads but dirty as hell (just ask buckshotglass as he cleaned my sawblades for me!)...and they screech nonstop when lightly on the brakes.

did you put antisieze on the back of the pads?
absolutly bed them in, that should be done with any pads.
thats good that they grab harder the hotter they get but when their cold they DO stop the car. A true race pad wont stop the car at ALL when cold, just saying that to clarify.
suprised they are dusting so much, are you using the brakes really hard?

I'm no grandma behind the wheel but I'm not raceing either...so I'd say moderate...no I didn't put anything behind the pad as I figured that little soft pad that is stuck to the back of them as an anti squeel thing...maybe I should go do that cause bedding them cause that thing to blister up.
I should make this clear....bran new out the box they suck balls PRE bed in,,,durring the bed in they grab harder and harder and once you are done they grab great all the time not just when hot....again great pads and I love them but just gotta clean the wheels more often
i bought the brembo rotors from a2motorsports....im happy with them and they arent that expensive....probably the best one could get without going big brake set up...they stop the car and have no problems at all.

powerslots are great and are brembo blanks.
brembo's are fine
the OP parts rotors I sell are also fine, and are coated to prevent rust on the hat area.
I've used all three rotors with sucess. The nice part about the OP parts rotors is they are almost cheaper then taking your car to have the rotors turned, and you get new rotors.
