Has anyone tried NRS Brake pads on their Challenger Hellcat? I am seeking pads for a daily driven Hellcat with the only features I am looking for our similar to stock braking power, all the time, and as little squeal as possibly. The amount of dust is irrelevant, and I came across these NRS pads that on paper look great but I cannot find a review anywhere. Not interested in Stoptech or Hawk, and heard the EBC's are no good on the Hellcats due to the squealing. Demon Performance is a no go since the owner got blasted on another forum for messing with a Member's hellcat, so no chance I would buy from them.

Enter NRS. Anyone know about these pads?

No clue but if the formula isn't like the stock pads, you will most likely have issues.

What formula are you speaking of?

The composition of the friction material.

I didn't know if you saw something, but I have already spoken to them and they sent me the specific pads for our Hellcat.

I am at a loss because I cannot find one review on Google from an actual Average Joe.

I have found stuff like this

You have to be sure that they are compatible with the Brembo brake system.
That just looks like a paid commercial for them.

Yeah, I agree...and I cannot find anything about them. As I said, on paper they look great but why can I not find a single review.

I may have to go with stock pads as I cannot find any pad worthy enough to buy. I am so bummed that I read so many bad Hellcat reviews on the EBC Yellowstuff, as I thought I was 100% getting them but most reviews are negative.

Sounds like to me that you've come to the right conclusion unless you want to change out rotors.

I agree with you on EBC but wonder why you’re down on Stop Tech. I've experimented with no less than 6 different pad manufacturers and the Stop Tech “street” pads checked all the boxes for me. All the OE Brembo bite with less dust and noise.

Fyi, Engineering Explained did a general overview of this company and their pads in one of his videos on his YT channel

Also, "Demon Performance" discs are simply a private label of GyroDisc brakes.

They are a decent quality cast iron rotor,, as for an issue with DP directly, I'm not aware of this.

Could you share the story, or maybe a link?

Let's just call it that Stop Tech checks one of my boxes, they are brake pads. That brand is not for me and I would put the EBC Yellowstuff on before them.

I did see that, but I also saw that NRS sponsored the video. Plus the sample size is way to small to make any real conclusion. I am really surprised I cannot find anyone whoever bought and used these pads. I may pay up $700 for stock pads at this point.

If you decide you want a set of stock OEM pads, shoot me a PM.

Thanks.
