Stock brakes, but the pads are basically gone. Any suggestions for a certain well known brand/type for DSM's?

I run Carbotech Panther XP8's, but those are total overkill on the street and cost $$$
If you're looking for some improved fade resistance and grab, Porterfield RS-4's are very good, but expensive. EBC Red/Green are so-so at best, the EBC Yellow compound is a big improvement. The MetalMasters are pretty popular, but they're not much better than generic pads. If you're not doing any kind of repeated hard braking, you won't really need any more than cheap generic semi-metallic pads and a good brake fluid flush. -------------------- Eric Wort
