Brake pad difference?

[Tim]

Hey all,

I need to do my brakepads soon. I managed to get a price for brakes from a mom and pop parts store that supplied parts for my boss' svx. He quoted me 21.99 for the front pads and 17.99 for the rear set. I have no idea what brand it is.

My other friend who works for a garage quoted me 32.99 for the front and 38.99 for the rear. They are semi-metallic and he told me they are one of the best without going the ceramic brakepad route.

I'm trying to save money so I can get my bearings and housing done, but I will later on upgrade the rotors and brakepads in the summer. Right now every dollar counts for me, should I just get the cheapest ones to hold off until I upgrade the brakes in the summer?
