280ZX brake pad question


Recommended Posts

I'm putting on 280ZX calipers, 240 hubs and '84 300ZX rotors this weekend. I'm having the rotor diameter turned down 1/4" so I can fit the caliper on the stock mounting ears. The calipers are from an '81 turbo and are identical to the set of '79 calipers I also have.

 

The ONLY brake pads the local parts stores carry are OEM type pads, and I want something that will withstand a bit more heat. I will eventually buy a set of Porterfield pads for road racing, but I want some good street pads. Anyone have any recommendations or brands to steer clear of? I have used semi-metallics on my Toyota calipers and am very happy with them, but none seem to be available for the ZX calipers. icon_confused.gif
