[billpvegas]

How long did your rear pads last on your speedie?
What did you replace them with?
Whats a good upgrade?

Still have less than four thousand miles on my america, so no need for new pads yet.

My America went about 9000 miles before I had to replace them.

What did you replace them with?

I got some EBC pads from http://www.fasteddysports.com/?page_id=3&category=28

Whats a good upgrade?

EBC pads seem to be the norm. Ive never seen another brand mentioned other than OEM. Since I caught them before they went to rivets (barely) I scuffed the rotors with some emory cloth to get the shine off, sprayed some break cleaner and wiped. Good as new.
There was some "howling" until they properly broke in.
I also did both front and rear at the same time.

16,000 k on the stock set and still going strong. Figure around 20,000 will replace. I have the RX3 from New Speedmaster. http://www.newspeedmaster.com/html/brake_pads.html
