Hey, guess what I just got? EBC greenstuff brake pads, everywhere I found them online was $55+.... I got them for $26! Now my question AFTER I already bought them. They dont say whether they are for AWD or FWD, but none of the places online specified either. Are the AWD and FWD pads the same?

I dont think they are in a 2g but I'm not positive. I know that the 2g n/t had different brakes than a 2g turbo

They are different I'm pretty sure. Check slowboy because I think they sell pads for evey type of dsm basically. I would think the awd pads are larger just like the caliper.

Good call. I'll check SBR's pads and cross reference part numbers.
The results. FWD = HB 214F.618 (http://www.slowboyracing.com/more.php?id=1289&) and WHOA look what the AWD part number is = HB214F.618 (http://www.slowboyracing.com/more.php?id=1290&). Well, I'll be damned.

be careful with those EBC's, they take a while to get up to operating temp.

Ok, thanks man. They should be here tomorrow or Monday hopefully. So how should I get them to operating temp? Whats going to happen when they arent at operating temp?

you get them up to temp by beating on them(hard breaking riding them ect.) when they arent at temp they wont break as well

I think I might just go with some regular oem type replacement pads. I dont like the whole warming up the brakes thing. I got new oem back rotors, new slotted 93+ awd centric hp front rotors, and 93+ awd calipers waiting for install. I just need get me some brakes pads from like pep boys I guess and I'm trying to find some stainless steal lines that arent to expensive. Anyone know where to get em for not too much besides e bay(which the cheapest I saw was 125 total).

go with something in between, Axxis Metal Masters, Performance Friction, and Hawk HPS are all carbon-metallic pads that offer better bite than stock organic pads yet don't require warming up.
The only bad thing is they dust pretty badly.
