Brembo BBK Pad Recommendation
Going to be installing a Brembo GT BBK (used). What pads are people running with these? Use is mainly hilly, and curves ( sounds like my type) aggressive driving.

Yes, they make pads for both the Brembo 8 piston calipers, and the rear Brembo 4 piston calipers.

J.Belknap - Happen to have the min spec rotor thickness handy....I think I'm due time

JCP240Z. One word of advice. Buy new Brake lines. The fronts you can use the stoptech lines (cheaper) but the rears, you have to use the Brembo lines just due to how the banjo fitting is. Bearing it's used, NEVER trust the condition of the brake lines, IMO. It could have been stretched during deinstall, etc

Can you elaborate on the brake lines? This is the first I've heard of this. I have new lines and was just planning on reinstalling them. What would the part numbers be for the brembo BBK lines?
