Whatever is the cheapest? Considering all we do is drive through crap all the time?? Never used any of those fancy brake products before. Best high performance brake product I have seen is working rear brakes. They really make a difference.

pads shmads... like magnum said, too much crap for good brakes, it will eat your pads alive!
If you still want to know, swapping out your rotors for a high performance set will probably help more than any pad.
As for the kind of pad you should get? I only eat pads that have asbestos in em.

Most ceramic pads will cause you to have a hard pedal and poor stopping at slower speeds. When these pads are hot they work very well and will give you a lot less brake dust and they wear better than semi-metallic. Autopart International sells a ceramic pad set that is very good and doesn't exibit any of the typical ceramic pad issues. I run these pads on all of my vehicles. I also install these pads as an option to the factory pads at the dealership. Anytime your brakes are contaminated they will not perform even if you have fancy cross drilled, slotted rotors and race compound pads. Brake Maintenance is key.

thanx guys, i just threw on a set of ceramics and new rotors. i'll see how they work. they weren't too expensive. and i cant justify spending $160 for drilled and slotted rotors unless i have to. but i don't.  |
