good rear brakes for big power 1g awd cars?

[DSMer541]

So i was just wondering what all the big power 1g street cars are using for rear brakes??? I have to replace my rear brakes and i would like to get a good pad but i cant find much for my car, i dont want a standard replacment pad because my car see's 100+ mph , alot..., and i drive on alot of curvy roads.. ( heavy braking/ accel )......

Im replacing the rear rotors with OE Brembo replacment rotors and im just gonna stick with the stock single piston calipers, but i cant find much for good performance pads for the rear..... i also have a full set of rebuilt 3000gt 2pot calipers with GS5 pads from Satisfied Brakes,and new brembo OE 12.75 in. rotors that are going on the front at the same time, which should deffinetly help my braking.... Satisfied also makes a GS6 pad for the rears on my car but they cost almost $90 with shipping....There's gotta be somthing else...

So if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated, thanx

I use CENTRIC Ceramic pads on my car and my rotors are cross drilled and slotted from centric as well All my Calipers are stock replacements with Stainless lines I have No problem stopping a 500hp awd car. Here is a link to the pad part #'s. You will have to find a centric dealer near you as they wont sell to the public. If you call them they can give you the number to the nearest dealer to you.

Why not just get some reman'd rear calipers, some Hawk HPS Street pads, and call it a day?

I have axxis ultimate all the way around, great pads and better than than hawk pads at low temperatures.

I would also highly recommend upgrading from a single piston just my 2cents

I ended up going with stop-tech ( Centric ) rear brake pads and steal braided brakes lines for the back and the front.... so overall i have replaced the front single piston calipers with 3000gt SL dual piston calipers w/ 12.75 in. Brembo OE rotors, Satisfied GS5 front pads, and steal braided brake lines... and for the rear I got new Brembo OE rotors, Centric mettallic pads, steal braided lines and rebuilt the calipers... I wish I had the money to upgrade the rear single piston calipers but i have other upgrades on my list that are more important at this time..... eventually I will be getting a Willwood 6-pot/13" front and Willwood 4-pot 12" rears...but that wont be neccessary till i get a bigger turbo and push 500+ HP.....

Hawk does not make rear pads for 1g's....
