High Performance Pads and Fluids Reccomendation

[Hdog911]

The brake fluid part is easy Castrol SRF, nothing touches it.

I'm seeking an aggressive brake pad, strong initial bite, high temperature capability but is streetable.

It's not really for hot laps at the track but beadlocks and 37/13.5/R17 put me at around 120lbs a corner and I like stopping fast and consistent.

EBC YellowStuff pads hands down. They do everything amazing and they're quiet too

Only downfall is brakedust

They must have a high CoF - they are sticky.
Such pads are typically quieter than harder, longer lasting pads.

I've used the Yellowstuff pads on my Power Wagon and Grand Cherokee. I even used them for a couple of track days with my Nismo. They have a nice bite. The hotter they get. The better they work. But they do dust. It's the pad I'll use when I have to change mine.

I use Castor SRF in my Nismo because I do track days with it. But it's over kill for the street. Be better off using Motul 600. It's a bit cheaper than SRF.

My understanding is that while the SRF has a higher wet boiling point than others, it's about on par with the dry boiling point. Both of which are way outside the realm of what these truck would see, but closer to what you'd see on track days with your Nismo. Way over-kill and no benefits on a street vehicle unless you ride your brakes all the way down a mountain, forgetting to downshift or switch to manual mode and use engine braking.

Same here, but I'm kind of tempted to do them now.

The cheapest I found SRF for is $60.00 for a one liter bottle. The stuff isn't cheap.

What rotors would you guys choose ? Centric, power stop? For these upgraded pads.

My vote is Power Stop....Quiet, long lasting, no over heating...stop well.

Thanks for the posts.

I'll look into EBC and Powerstop.

Yeah SRF is probably overkill but it's nice to know I won't die from going over a cliff if my brake fluid boils.

Reviving an old thread, but has anyone used Yellow stuff with OE rotors? Do they eat up the rotors?
