AEM ("Nissin") 26-160 brake pads

Cost: $57.50 shipped ($12.50 for shipping, $45 for pads)

Had these on since December 22. These pads offer decent stopping power. Feels like stock until pressed hard, has saved me from at least 5 wrecks thus far (Mesquite drivers = fail).

Installation was simple, OEM pads still had plenty of life so i didn't have to push the calipers back. Looks subtle, it's just a metal-backed pad.

A noticeable difference, not absolutely amazing though. 4 out of 5 I'd say, as it gives slight advantage over stock. Just don't expect our non-ABS EJ8's to cease going within 2 foot's notice in wet weather downhill. :-)

Anytime mate. Smile
I also have a Holley Walbro 255 LPH fuel pump, but no reason to review it, other than "it's a functional fuel pump that went in easily and is relatively cheap (online)".

I think this is it. =D I could go ahead and start one though, but I'm not much into introductions.

tl;dr summary: Dave. 19. Mesquite, TX. R81 [red] '96 w/ 237K miles, automatic for now.
