Rspec Bigger/Better brake pads

[Gunkk]

Agreed - the Genny OEM brakes are good enough for me.

I have no problem with the stopping power of my Genesis either although I'm not autocrossing it but merely driving it to and from work. Only brake upgrade I would do is mainly for aesthetics like a Futura BBK or similar.

Same here. I find the stopping power of the stock brakes to be very good, considering the heft of the vehicle.

Did they increase the size of the fronts in 2013? The calipers look pretty big...

+1 on the Red Stuff pads, Rey.

Performed the same swap, along with a set of Goodridge steel brake lines on my '09 G8 solely because I felt the brakes were lacking grip. The car had just 4K miles on it.

Whoa! What a difference, especially in initial bite. This sure beat spending the $1,800.00 for the big brake kit.

I would recommend this upgrade to anyone. Word of caution: Bed them in correctly, lest ye enjoy brake noise.

Those of you that have upgraded the brake pads. Any changes on your initial impressions? I have had my 4.6 for about 3 months and I'm driving it like a madman but as good as the OEM brakes are I'd like a little more stopping power for this heavy ass car.
