Blau,

Which Endless brake pads are you using? Is there a lot of brake dust? Squealing?

Yeah, I track it once in awhile ... Other times, the car is either sleeping in the garage usually or cruising around town on the weekend nights. I just changed the brake pads and that's about it, the brakes do need a bit of warm up before driving though I have no problem with that. Always go to the quiet street next to mine when heading out and gun it to second gear and just lock up the brakes, good warm up for the pads instantly for normal driving and some ABS testing.

How do those brake pads compare to other ones you've had? Also, how are they noise and dust wise?

I've tried other sets of Endless on other cars as well. My Accord runs on Endless NA-Y all round, needs no warming up and brakes well for normal driving but the dust problem is like typical European cars.

NA-R is good on the S2K with no dust problems when even the stock pads produce quite a bit of dust when normally driven, noise only happens when the brake pads are cold. So you need to warm them up then the noise disappears and comes the grip similar to NA-Y which are the best cold braking type of pads that require no warm up. While wear and tear on both Endless pads are fairly less compared to stock pads overall.
