Though I have D2, I find the EBC rotors and Akebono pads are a great match.
My 2 cents tho...
Ceramic pads?
Thanks good to know making a note.
Didn't the D2's have vented fronts and solid rears? D1'a were solid both ends.
Rotors were repaced by PO with plans on keeping the D1 at end of 5/60K lease in 1-2000. Purchased it 1-2000 and had his 7/100K warranty that paid for the 4.6 shortblock.
Still running the same rotors having minumum amount of wear with three pad changes.
One set squealed so bad you heard me coming 200 yards away, they lasted 1,500 miles the noise issue unless the brakes were good and hot then silent with no stopping improvement.
Sonora Pass of 9,600' elevation with 45 to 5 mph twisties for several miles hit the brakes 5-6 times total. With 5 speed downhill braking a lot isn't an issue.
Followed a mini Toyota PU with two adults, truck empty smoking the brakes stinking like hell.
I'm following without hitting the brakes. On average 45K a set of pads, this in city and local highway mixed driving unless up in the mountains, street only.
One thread members installing D90 or D110 rotors and caliphers with original master now pedal down to the floor issues.. They stop better but the pedal issue, no thanks, increased caliper fluid displacement go figure. Something had to give unless there's a master swap that is available?.....~~=o&o>......
