Brake pad recommendations

[berettafan]

What pads should i buy for a street car that will see some autocross in the spring? I have a very low tolerance level for squeeking and would prefer not to be constantly cleaning brake dust off my wheels. The autocrossing will be for fun only.

Also, if i am getting a 'pulsing' sort of feel under hard braking does that mean my rotors are warped and need replaced? If so should i go standard rotors? Front only?

Is there a brake fluid i should stick with?

Finally, are SS brake lines worth the cost or should i replace with standard?

Thanks!

btw, a/c was drained today and i will be diving in on removal this evening

Pads- I have stuck with Reg. Mintex and have been quite pleased; No noises, very light dust after much use. I use Hawk Pads on my Jeep, they work well, with no noises as well, but there is much more wheel cleaning involved.

Pulsing- under heavy braking-felt just in the pedal--> Check the rears first; if the pulsing is felt in the steering wheel under braking then, check fronts. I currently have standard rotors (Brembo OE style) but there is an urge for Turbo rotors..

Fluid- I just switched to ATE Racing Blue(DOT4?), it works fine.

Lines- I replaced my 30 year-old lines with standard OE ones; 2200lb car still stops on a dime.

While you are in there---You may also want to check the condition of the calipers; My first Porsche project was caliper rebuilds-(the seal kits are not expensive, just try to put the calipers back together the way they came apart-I had issues ).


-Any pictures yet??

hello: The metal master pads will work great for you. They are also called PBR. No dust ok low dust and no noise. They are cheap and last a long time. I get mine from Paragon Products talk to Chuck. Thanks Eric
