do you have the calipers with the same sized piston bores? If so, its series 4 rx7s iirc. Its in takai's guide.

[Pube]

im using 200sx pads so yes, they are an exact fit.

[Snyper]

yes, same size pistons..
after some brand names too if anyone has had much experience with them ?
i've been recommended Ferodo

The Ferodo I used were rubbish.
Dusty as hell and squealed more than the 'pig' in Deliverance...
I have used Bendix Ultimate for good results all round, quick warm up to good stopping power, no dust, no squeal like a pig, boy......you got a pretty mouth.....!

I use hawk blacks in my ip car but will be way too agressive for the street. i tryed to use bendix race, but i used em all in one day. we thought these may be a good "race" pad for the street so we put them on a mates 33, they work awsome. Give them a go.

I have EBC Greenstuff for mine, they fit the calipers perfectly, but havent tried them on the car yet.
They were labeled as being for a GTO/WRX.

[Snyper]

200sx pads, which model, or are they all the same?

[MWP]

If it helps Snyper, i got my Greenstuff's (labeled as GTO/WRX) from "Car Torque Products" in Kent Town (8362 7667).
Was $220 for the 4 pads.

Im also running EBC Blackstuff's on the rear JZA70 brakes.

[Snyper]

ouch !
wasn't epecting to be paying that much, but then again haven't bought brake pads for a while.

I'm running EBG greenstuff pads in my hilux calipers. Set me back $180 for the set but from what I've felt from the 4 or 5 quick runs around the block they feel quite nice.

Yeah, as i found out later, they are an expensive shop

Try All Clutch & Brake in St Marys (8277 8122), they are an EBC dealer, and seem to be good for price. I got my Black's from them.

hey,

just wondering why ppl used 200sx pads instead of just hilux pads. Is it a perfomance thing or something to do with the pug rotors? im on a tight budget here

Its because you cant get performance pads for a Hilux...

bendix ultimates for 200sx or mazda rx7 should be about $100 odd per axle set, which aint expensive and there good for the dowlahs spent.

or you could try ferodo DS2500's or 3000's if you plan to drive abit more aggressively. but these will range from $300-$450, (they are well worth it though)

cheers
