Okay so cross off S.S lines, and will look into those 125's for rotors. As well as the s/s orange pads. Would you say their alright for year round driving?

As well as super blue i wanted that but didnt think it was ok to run year round?

Yeah, I wasnt planning on any ducts unless i got more serious into it. But as for now just try it and have fun is my plan

Super blue is fine to run year round. I'm not sure if this is what you were planning, but i'd recommend having a separate set of street and track pads. That way you don't have to put up with pads that eat your rotors when they're cold and driving them on the street.

ATE Blue is a terrific year-round fluid.

I have a set of the S/S Orange pads in my garage, I'll be able to give you more feedback on them once they're installed, but they should be acceptable for year-round DD use + autocross + light track duty.

Awesome! Super blue it is, see i thought about having two sets, but figured a nicer high performance street will do the job for what i wanna do.

Feedback on the s/s oranges would be great! I dont plan on buying stuff till Feb/mar. Just so i can start out fresh for summer and go from there, plan on bleeding the brakes every summer since i read with race fluid it is recommended.

ATE is good for 3 years for normal daily-driving. For street and autocross use I would bleed annually, flush every other. If you're going to be doing track days I would flush annually. It's one of the longest lasting performance fluids out there which is a good thing. Motul, for example, needs to be flushed every 6 months due to it's highly hygroscopic properties no matter usage.

Oh very nice. Thanks for the info on that! Ate super blue is defiantly for me.

No, I'd think it'd be more conformist of you. :)

More conformist of me?

Sorry he helped me out and is saving me time and money down the road. Plus a good friend of mine uses super blue in his civic he tracks and likes it. Figured id give it a shot as ive not read too many ams oil but search ate super blue and can find a lot.

Still leaning towards ds2500 pads, unsure of rotors yet. Gonna get some pricing and search tonight. I just wanna do my set up once and right untill i get more serious, if i do that is.

I don't have any experience with Ferodo pads, but for the level of seriousness it sounds like you're at, I bet multiple cheaper Hawk offerings would do the job just fine. HPS, HP+, Blue?

eh, i'd prefer to stay away from hawk pads. Seriousness? haha just looking to set it up good for autoX and like I said hopefully try road course. other than that daily driving for me.

Looking into girodisc pads now look to be much cheaper than ferodo's
