What kind of brake pads do you like?
My breaks stop OK but they have the "hey replace me soon" squeel. So I think as soon as I get back from the Auto Cross this weekend I am going to yank off my tires and put on some new pads. I am just looking for good reliable long lasting pads. I am weilling to pay a little more for a good brand, but I am not looking for anything fancy. Thanks in advance for all your thoughtful advice.

Best thing to do is search the subject. Several companies come up like KVR, EBC, Axxis...

The Semi-metalics I bought from Raceconcepts work very well but turn your wheels black. Otherwise I think I'll stepup to ceramic next. Oh and with either setup make sure to use a little more force when cold, but when hot they close up hard.

My fav for the past several years (and I do a lot of brakes) is the Wagner ThermoQuiet pads. Low dust, dead silent, good stopping. PN# PD554 frt, PD 471 rear and available at most local parts stores.

i got mine off ebay for 40 dollars including shipping. they're lomandi kevlar/semi-metallics and i also got drilled/slotted rotors off ebay for 110 including shipping. best 150 bucks i've spent in awhile. be careful it will try to throw you through the windshield, so buckle up.

no just the front rotors. it's 85 bucks buy it now price for them on e bay for 2. i think they sell 4 for 150 or something like that. not sure. hope you go the way i did cause they work really good. they take about 500-1000 miles to really bed in but once they do.........  good luck. you should check out ebay right now cause there's alot of rotors on there right now for damn good prices.
