God, there are a thousand brake threads going at the moment...

as before, RB74's are great pads. Very cheap and noticable upgrade for your car. In street use, they would never ever fade.

I run EBC greens. Great pad, but $180 price tag.

for all your RB74 needs.....
(though I just hope they are better at getting the right pad type now than they were a year or 2 back...took them 2 shipments to get me the correct rear pads, even had to fax them a tracing of the pad.......)

rb74's are hte way to go... i've thrashed serveral sets on the race track and they always pull up fine for road use afterwards....

although now i have hsv callipers on so its a little different but when i had the mivec callipers the rb74's were fantastic

You haven't fit them is it because your wife doesn't know you bought them yet, or you too lazy....
