Bestop is just an entry level performance brake pad. Don't be fool with the entry level tag. It perform well beyond that. Price wise, it is the most expensive among all entry level brake pads. Ebc green stuff is at RM200-240 i think. Cant remember. G5 M-tech pads are at the rear. Cost me just RM90. Project Mu Bestop front set, freaking RM300.
Dust level is very low comparing to my previous AXT brake pads. Up till now,after almost 500km the brake dust is not visible at all. AXT is a different story. Definately changed of color just after a spin out. AXT is an abbrasive type. Does has the grip, but with some screcthing sound sometimes. On the bright side, AXT lasted for more than 50,000km. That's with 2 track day session mind you. I'm the living proof.
Looking at Project-Mu Bestop (PMB), it does bring out your rice boy look. Bright green hiding behind the caliper. These pads do not need any warm up to get the grip. Straight away it have the grip.
"One of the few aftermarket brake pads that can stop the car in cold braking conditions such as starting engine after car is parked overnight when the engine is being warmed as car is leaving the car park. " - pitstop.oneshift.com
Hard braking is very significant. Pairing PMB with Pro RS steel braided brake hoses make a whole world of different. You can shed off at least 1-2 seconds from your 100 to 0 braking. That is a lot of different. Cornering braking is just a small improvement over AXT so far. At this point, the brake hose is the one that comes into play.
Have to try it on the next track day session, hopefully. All the review just based on my experience. No professional review. Just my 2 cent.

Exedy 4 Puck Racing Clutch
As you can see from previous post, I've changed mine. Why using 4 puck instead of 3 puck you may ask? The price different between these two just RM90, as simple as that. Ahaha.
The box comes in red. That is serious. Rice boy. No matter what you heard, the box is red. Not blue and white nor grey.
So far, no slip during gear change. Took me a while to get used to it. My previous clutch is Exedy Organic clutch. More to oem feel when you press the clutch pedal. Served me well for almost 3 years. Cant complaint much until it becomes really annoying especially when you're engaging to 1st and 2nd gear. It just dont fully 'slot' in.

Exedy Organic Clutch
Changing clutch really is unnecessary at this point. I dont even need it. It just that, the Organic clutch really is giving out. Look at it. Still lots of grip left on it. Might as well keep it until this new clutch on mine kaput. Some said it wont last long. Well, let's just wait and see shall we?
