Can anyone offer suggestions regarding front brake pads ?
I have been struggling with my FLAPS to get me a "Loaded" set of front calipers. About two months ago he got me a set but the pads were mis-matched. They offered me a set of new pads and I was happy untill I started to work on replacing the mis matched set. The new set I recieved were Albaney -organic pads and they are paper thin.
I guess my best option is to buy a set of good pads but what are those and where to get them?
I noticed that the mis-matched set had some sort of metal shim attached to the back of the pads. The Albany set did not. Do I need some sort of shim on any kind that I get ?
Also I have read about caliper grease, where do I put that ?
Last bit of info, at the moment I just need brakes that will stop me fast at red lights, I do not plan on racing this beast so please factor this in when suggesting which kind of pads I should buy.
Thanks,
PS
I sure wish I could get this car off its jack stands in time for the mid west get together on August 7th.
