Miles Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) 72 240Z SBC S12+8 solid rotor front brakes and MM 240SX rear brakes I have been looking for brake pads that have good cold bite as I do most of my daily driving in stop and go rush hour traffic. I have tried KVR, Hawk HPS and Poterfield R4S pads and they require a few stops before becoming efficient. I don't care about dust. Research is showing that AXXIS ULT pads have good cold bite and fade resistance. Friction code: FF Do these AXXIS pads make a lot of noise?

m1ghtymaxXx Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Not sure, but Hawk HP+ sound like they fit the bill, they aren't quiet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I had the HP+ on my s13. They were soooo loud and annoying on the street. Once warm they do bite like no other though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitchinZ Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I like my StopTech front pads on the street. Take a look at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 72 240Z Brake setup: Wilwood 1 inch master cylinder, 280Z booster, Toyota S12+8 front calipers with solid rotor, Modern Motorsports 240SX rear calipers and Axxis ULT pads front and rear. For cold bite and overall brake feel these Axxiis ULT pads are excellent. Unlike the Hawk HPS, Porterfield R4S and KVR pads I have used over the last 10 years these pads do not require three or four stops to get them working in traffic. First stop they bite. Modulation is excellent as well. Good initial bite with good linear feel. Friction code FF They are also sold as PBR ULT.

Miles Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Update: I have recently experimented with Carbotech AX6 pads. See: http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/127572-carbotech-ax6-pads-for-toyota-240sx-calipers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
