It's time for me to get some new pads and I was wondering how well the TRD pads stand up against the Axxis Ultimates or EBC Grenn Stuff?
I can live with dust as long as they stop good and arent excessively squeaky.
Any Info would be greatly apreciated.

I am also looking for a good set of pads anw would like to hear about other people's experiences. I love the TRD pads but I have been told they are discontinued.

Yep discontinued for the gt. I heard KVR's CF brake pads were good so I went with those. I am gonna put those on in a few days.

I bought TRD and I think they are great. No noise and minimal brake dust.

Actually if you check out the vendor section they still have a few trds left. I will let you know how the kvr's are.

From personal experience: Axxis Ultimate > TRD > EBC Greenstuff.

From the reviews I've heard, I agree. Haven't heard one good thing about EBC's pads, TRD are good but I believe they need to be warmed up before they start to bite well, and I have Axxis Ultimates and love everything about them (great bite, absolutely no fade, great pedal feel) except the dust. ;)

I was actually gonna order them, but KVR never replied to my order. :wtf: I've heard they're a bit dusty and can fade under moderate conditions (traffic), though.

hawk hps = trd
hawk hp+ > hawk hps

Actually the hp+ completely owns the hps, ive had both, the only thing is it dusts pretty bad

Finally got the KVR CF brake pads on and I am very impressed. My girlfriend is not too happy with how I tested them out since I gave her whiplash but they are a noticeable improvement. Stop much better. I would def. recommend them from what I have seen so far.
