looking for recomendations on front brake pads, TGpilot posted good things about EBC. I have been running performance friction carbon metallics, but looking for something with more grab. I run these same  pads on my windstar, and it just doesn't need a much pedal pressure  to stop. I am sure our ABS system has something to do with pedal pressure as well. Since  i have brake dust shields, i just care about stopping, dusty pads are okay.

I'm also curious about what pads are the best. And I'm also wondering where you got brake dust shields from for the TGP? :)

my book mark for brake shields is old and invalid, all i can remember is doing a web search,for brake dust shields, found a site that listed the 90 ste, and ordered them.
I think Pep boys also listed something.

The brake pads i found best were Bendix. As for EBC the green stuff something like that, they suck i pratically melted them after two weeks, and there god awful expensive. So do want u want but that was my experience.
This car is an addiction, it has its problems many problems but if you want something different that's quick, handles, looks good and is comfortable as hell nothing can beat a TGP.
90 Red TGP 14.802 at 92.85 mph. Now new 89 black TGP runs great only 400 bucks cant beat that. PSIDOFF
