i need some descent brake pads for my 90 firebird, the breaks on it now dont stop like i want it to and im a tight budget so im not planning on getting a kit. any ideas for the front break pads?

 

Bendix MKD-154, about $30-$32

 

where can i order those from? is that what you use ?

 

I got mine from a local place, mostly CA based but they will ship if you can't find the pads locally. They can be found at several places, but these guys were the least expensive that I found.

I think they're great, a huge improvement over the Performance friction carbon metallics that I was using before. Many here are happy with the Bendix pads.

 

First do a search on pads.

Second--IMO--Hawks or Raybestos Brute stops

BRUTESTOP™ Disc Brake Pads are application specific engineered for people who always insist on the ultimate in performance braking. This comprehensive line of superior quality brake pads is designed and specifically formulated for performance production cars and light trucks, including street rods, muscle cars and custom cars. Premium friction material allows for maximum braking power under all conditions, from normal traffic to the most extreme hard-driving situations.

Third Install Stainless steel brake lines. (Jegs or Summitt)

I just got through doing all this research--gave up on the high dollar calipers (couldn't afford them)--got 4 recon calipers from Napa--Hawk Pads--Drill/Slot Rotors (Ebay)--SS lines--Wilwood adj. proportioning valve (not installed yet)

I'M HAPPY!
