Default Re: Hawk HPS Brake pads for first gen VR-4 HELP!

I just ordered another set of the hawk hps from pricematchedparts.com. Superb price and on top of that free shipping, can't beat that. But I was curious does the hawk pads have a built in wear indicator noise that lets you know when the pads are worn.

So anyone with a 1st gen without converted 2nd gen rear calipers what do you guys do for a setup. Since we cannot get Hawk HPS for the rear what do you guys run??? I am going with Hawk HPS for the front thinking of what to do with the rear Axxis maybe???

Don't get Axxis unless you like a lot of brake dust for only street performance. It's also VERY corrosive. Go with a set of Carbotech Bobcats in the rear.They are a bit more expensive but at least they will perform better and the brake dust will not corrode your wheels.

Is google blocked on your computer or something?

Carbotech Order - Carbotech's website. You can order directly from them.
Supercar-Engineering.com - Dodge Stealth & Mitsubishi 3000GT Performance - Philip's website, if you want to support someone in the 3/S community.

Yes, you'll want to resurface your rotors so that the pads bed in properly.

He can't be serious. I can't think of a single job that doesn't require google at least once a day for actual work--nevermind for comic relief.

Anyway, I'd normally just tell someone to google for a proxy so that they can get on blocked sites, but I guess I'll have to just give you the URL:

Anonymouse.org

Have you tried that? If your company is so tight that it blocked google, I'll bet it's blocked all the popular proxies as well.

Well when you go on google the page looks really weird first of all and when you search anything that has to do with videos, games, forums it just blocks you I dont have much time to browse the net anyway so no big deal for me. I decided to leave my old laptop there and just use wifi so the bastards can kiss my ass now hahaha!
