Anyone recommend these over stock Brembo Pads on Evo 8/ 9? Looking for a new set. Comparing these to Hawk hps & EBC. Spirited driving/ few track days

Good pads for street and cost much less then Brembo. Only downside is that they squeek like crazy during cold weather. I havent tried them on the track but plenty of spirited driving on a STI.

IMO, if you are going to drive on the track that you have a separate set of track pads for your car. With the Brembo calipers they are easy to switch out (about 10-15 min per side). Also if you are looking for a good set of track pads I would recommend Carbotechs. They have a better temp range and longevity than EBC and don't destroy your rotors like Hawk.

Ive used the hawk pads before i bought a set of the stoptech pads. I think the stoptech pads actually have better bite than the hawk hps in my opinion. Though the hawk pads did last a pretty long time. I cant say how long these pads last because they have only been on for a few weeks so far. :) I think for the price they are great though.

Just installed 4 on my 07' 350 crew cab... Ride is awesome now... Had a set of the Elderbrock IAS on prior to these and the factory Rancho's before that... The Elderbrock's rode better than he factory Rancho's when new but these 5100 series Bilstein's are much better yet! A little pricey but worth it with the much improved ride!

I replaced both front and rear pads using Wagner ceramic pads, and I am very happy with them. The QC1212 is for rear and the QC1293 is for front axel.

No idea, but there was a pretty good YouTube video that I checked out about the install. Maybe from that you can compare. Should also be able to check via AutoZone, Advanced, etc. It took me more time to find my floor jack than it did to install the new pads. Very happy with them so far.

They are great! So much better than stock. They have a reflective back. The turn signals don't have a reflective back but it doesn't matter. I'd recommend HID's with them too. Looks amazing like that.

Not noisy, but you will feel them. They deliver great traction offroad, but onroad you will feel a bit of drag since they're wide. For primarily onroad use with a bit of offroad, you might like Schwalbe Racing Ralphs a bit better. A touch narrower and smoother onroad but competent offroad as well.

It's just a replacement pad for when your stock one starts suffering from 'black dandruff'.....I've heard if you take broken QC's back to the Bose store they will sometimes replace them for a new set for a nominal charge....your mileage may vary.....give it a shot.Willie

Hi John.I've have this pair on my full suspension mtb. They lasted me a bit then broke off. Rear will break off first then front.For the front fender, I had issues having it stay in tight so I did some modifications by putting a rubber band to get a better grip to stay in.My advise to you is, buy the DeFender™ XC1/XC11 Set, they come in 26 and 29 inch depending on your wheel size. Find them cheap on ebay! Got mine there. They look much better, more durable, and newest model from Topeak. Yours is a hardtail so you'll be fine. More of a problem with full suspension bikes when it comes to rear fenders but there are special ones made for FS MTB like the mudhugger. Hi John.I've have this pair on my full suspension mtb.

yes,its not neccessarily an upgrade but the aluminum pads wont wear as fast as the stock ones.

I ordered these for my S430 so I am not sure if they are the same pad for your car..What I will tell you is I don't notice any loss in performance, no noise, and best of all NO BRAKE DUST ! If you can get them for your car do it.

if you have stock lowers with the boom audio 5-1/2's, then these might help. problem would occur if your speaker is too deep, these are about 5/8" thick and every inch counts when trying to cram more sound in. I used mine for upper fairing. I also drilled a tiny hole at the bottom of each ring to allow water to drain out rather than sit on the woofer should I hit rain or a splash while washing.because harley makes it difficult to buy their lower fairing speaker kit without the boom audio speakers, I'm assuming you're cutting your's into the exsisting glove box. If that's the case, you don't need these. if you have stock lowers with the boom audio 5-1/2's, then these might help. problem would occur if your speaker is too deep, these are about 5/8" thick and every inch counts when trying to cram more sound in.

Hi Victor. I have these in 3 cars. I race and track, so I heel - toe always. I would recommend stacking the 2 smaller plates on the brake to heel - toe better, or you can install them on all pedals. Whatever you prefer. You will need to remove the rubber booties on the brake and clutch pedal. You can then drill the included screws through the Sparco's. Some throttle pads do not come off. None of my cars do. You can drill the plate over the stock throttle pad. Once again, if you heel - toe, then angle the pedal left towards the brake pedal. These work great.

Yep. They're a bit small and certainly take some getting used to but they're accurate and work very well once you get them setup properly within the game. I use them for roll and use the xml route to set bindings which is a bit more complex than the in-game interface but it's more fully featured. 1 to 10, I'd give them a 6 or 7. There is much much better, but not for around a hundred bucks. Saitek's pedals are good too but they don't integrate with CH software which is one huge bonus for the whole CH line of gear.Good luck and see you in the verse.

I use my cans without any EQ or enhancement, soany change in tone or depth is instantly apparent. The brake in was quick & noticeable, (about 2 days) but the smoothing factor is still ongoing after a month & a half. If mellow is your target be happy, 'cause mine continue to have subtle changes one day & then back to previous the next. It drives me crazy so I plan to mod the pads again for peace of mind.

Any good? I am not sure what you want to know. They are Bosch sensors. They are (to my understanding) OEM. As long as you buy the correct sensor (up/down stream cabling is of different lengths) for the correct placement/problem, they work fine. I purchased two upstream pieces because they were due to be replaced. I had gotten several codes to that effect. No codes of that type since.IF you plan on a downstream sensor resolving 'inefficient cat' codes..you will almost certainly be disappointed. The O2 sensor is not likely the cause of those codes. Such codes are MORE likely to be a cat failure: Particularly the left (driver's side) cat on an E38. Any good? I am not sure what you want to know. They are Bosch sensors.

Improved sound under hard acceleration, initial improvement in MPG has since evolved into a decrease over stock air box. No improvement in throttle response......if I had to do it over again, I would just get a K&N; filter for the stock box.

This type of pads are the best pads i've own,me and my wife have the same car both KIA OPTIMAS 2008 they come in kits for the four wheels,or you can get them for the front or rear separately,I replaced my brakes at 25000 with the akebono,my wife drives very littleher car is 8 years old and she still has less than 20000on itI have a set of akebonos waiting to replace her brakes,I just replaced may KIA with 78000miles and the brakes were still good!not bad for nearly 55000 miles of use.
