What was it in the message archive that convinced you that OEM pads were the way to go? About 2 months ago, I replaced my OEM brake pads with Axxis Deluxe Plus organic pads (as well as having the rotors turned), and I was astounded at the improvement in braking performance. With the OEM pads (which still had 80% of their life), I thought the brake pedal had a mushy feel, and I had to nearly push the pedal to the floor to get the car to stop quickly. With Axxis pads, it takes no effort to get the car to stop quickly, and because I don't have to push hard on the pedal, the brakes have a very nice progressive feel. I'll never use OEM pads again on an SVX.
BTW, when you change out the pads, you might find that most, if not all the anti-squeal shims are gone. Most places don't stock the shims, so you may want to pop off your wheels and have a look to see if the shims are missing well before you start the brake job.
