Brake Pads

My brakes are starting to squeak so I think I will be needing new pads. Any suggestions on brand and/or type of pads to get? Any place in particular to purchase them? OT, you have them on your web site. Are the ones you are selling the best for the SVX?

Re: Brake Pads

AXXIS ceramic is what I have and I haven't noticed the dust too terribly. Then again, I wash my car twice a week in the summer.

Re: Brake Pads

I bought my ceramics from http://www.rockauto.com, they were only like $25 for the set and havent shown even the slightest wear after 15,000 miles.

Right now it looks like they have one close-out set of Raybestos ceramics for $8.44 !! I would jump on that, and see what else they have too, I cant recommend Rockauto enough.

I like rockauto but there shipping sucks I had to return part of an order because Fedex had it listed as going to be delivered on friday, Weekend project, and friday cam and no parts I had to buy them locally.
And to make matters worse they seem to have wildly high shipping prices compared to size and weight from other shipping I have done.
