So, I bought some NX2000 calipers, but now I'm having a real tough time finding pads. I want an endurance pad, but no luck yet. Most of the good pad companies don't even make pads for them it seems. Hopefully, I'm just missing some. Here's what I found:
Pagid - none
PFC - none
Ferodo - none
Hawk - none
Porterfield - R4 (but no R4E)
Carbotech - whole lineup is available

am I missing any?

You can use Hawk Blues from a 96-00 Mitsubishi Eclipse, part# HB213.626. Call Brian at Fastbrakes and he'll be able to get you the pads and answer any additional questions you may have.

We've been running this pad in our Lemons car with great success.

awesome. thanks. I was hoping there would be a x-reference

You have to grind on the backing plates if you use the Eclipse pads. Remove most of the metal on the outside radius and shorten the ears a bit.

I've gone through at least 10 sets of the Eclipse Hawk Blues and have never made any modifications. They fit great.

I've gone through at least 10 sets of the Eclipse Hawk Blues and have never made any modifications. They fit great.

Our torque members are very rusty and covered with probably a hundred thousand miles worth of brake dust. Virgin Eclipse backing plates were leaving witness marks in that gunk.

With this race over, I can spend some time cleaning the brakes. We very might be able to run those pads as-is.

Awesome. Eclipse blues it is. What are you guys doing for the rears. I was thinking blacks or HP+, but can't find those either. Axxxxxxxis Ultimates?

Axxis Ultimates is what I've been running in my SER and NX for years. Front and rear. They used to make Metal masters, but now, the only ones they make for NX brakes are the Ultimates.

can i also use this pad on my ad22VE not VF

FYI, Carbotech offers something like a 15% discount to LeMons'ers - call it a sponsership - if you run their stickers on your car.

On the street no doubt..... Go to a lapping day and they will be ruined in minutes!

Hawk Blues are notoriously abrasive on rotors. Are any of the other PFC compounds available for use with the adv22f calipers?

we went with the Raybestos pads expensive at $175 for the set but everyone says they'll last a 24 hour lemons race... we sadly blew the motor after about 40 laps so... can't say for sure.

Hey, i will have you guys know i ran axxis ultimates for 18 months in SE-R cup, you just need to be gentle on the brakes........

true story, but still they suck, do the Hawk blues and forget it, rotors are so cheap for our cars its easiest to replace them every 2nd set of padsOn the street no doubt..... Go to a lapping day and they will be ruined in minutes!

Word. I used Ultimates on many a track day with my turbo SE-R, but blues are so much better there's no point in getting the Ultimates.

Can you expain more. Stock car but you are road racing? No mods just safety equipment or is this like an HPDE????
My suggestion. Leave the Axxis at the store. Dont even bother. Hawk HP+ at minimum. I dont know blacks but I have never seen them offered for our cars. I would recomend Carbotech xp-8 and 10's Raybestos st-43, Hawk Blues.
