CRX Pads - HondaClub.com

**8695Beaters** · 02-13-2008, 04:53 PM

I need a set of good brake pads for my '89 CRX Lemon. They need to hold up to 24 hours of hard (and I mean HARD) track abuse. Any suggestions? I only need fronts (DX CRX) and I don't want to spend a lot, since they only need to last 4000 miles or so (after the race, this car is probably junkyard bound). I don't care about noise or rotor wear, but I can't have brake fade.

I also need a racing set and harness for this event. Anything cheap and safe that you guys would reccomend? The seat/harness will probably be going to one of my other cars after the race, so something comfortable would be nice too.

You have experience with these pads?

well we took a 78? amc gremlin and pulled the fenders, hood doors, hatch and all the glass out of it and converted it into a go cart!

we put these pads on there for I think it was like $10 for the set...and they stopped so well we had to be careful cause the tires would lock up...

we used that thing every weekend in the 25 acre field until one day after a few years we hit a pine tree that this time didnt bend...twisted the frame so bad the left front wheel stayed off the ground!!!
