Just did a swap from drums to Lt1 discs (PBR). What brake pads should I get? Seems a lot of guys like the Bendix, but I cant find them for this caliper.
The rotors that came with them have 5/8 holes for the studs, my studs are 1/2. Kinda sloppy. Is this bad?
Also, will I need an adjustable p-valve? Is there one that doesnt require me to make new flares?

I will recommend Hawk HPS pads without question.
On the studs, they need to be tight. If they're loose you'll have problems.
You don't need an adjustable per se, some guys like to have them. I would personally recommend the factory disc/disc prop and be done with it.

I just put some of these on my car today. These groan allot less than the factory pads that were on there(low milage car that sits allot). They also actually stop the car without having to stand on the pedal.Originally Posted by ebmiller88

Good thanks. The rotor has about an 1/8 inch of slop in it. Wonder why the holes are so big. I'll use them for a little while, the car doesnt see much backing up.

The holes in the rotors arent going to be EXACTLY the same size as the studs. They are designed to be a little loose.
Wouldnt worry about that. And yes, suggest HPS pads. Not HP+ or anything else.

The holes are a little bigger than I'd like, but I havent noticed any sliding. The HPS pads are working great. Car brakes very well even with 9" of vacuum.
