Brake shoes/pads

[conley3.1]

I'm looking to replace my brake shoes, and I want a higher performance pad that can take some hard braking without glazing onto the rotor... has anyone heard of Green Stuff? Are they good pads?

TGPilot seemed to like them on his TGP, which Lukez34 owns now. they are available from tirerack too. i'd like to get them but $59/set is kinda spendy.

DO NOT get Perfomance Friction. For the first 2-3 months they are great, grab hard while cold and extremely hard when warm. Then after 3 months the pads start glazing over and it takes 2 feet to stop the car.

Bendix are really good and so is RayBestos

ceramic PG Lus pads by raybestos are good. another thing by raybestos to check into is thier STS linup they are a new street performance pad and look like really good shit to me but they are pretty pricy too. Plus if i remember correctly they only make the front brakes for gen 1s but i could be wrong on that.

DO NOT get Satisfied pads. They were cheap and before the car was mine we put them on because the car was hardly driven. The car either hardly stops or locks when wet, and takes about 3 miles to heat up to grip properly. Very dangerous pads and a less experienced driver would get into an accident with them. My friend put them on his K car and experienced the same problems. Disproving the name, I am not satisfied! I can't wait to get money to get the 94 brakes in the rear and cross drilled rotors and good pads up front.

Thanks everyone, i'll probably get some RayBestos brakes... I want to get slotted/cross drilled rotors as well, and i found some on Ebay alledgedly for a Lumina, but i didn't really trust the auction.
