    Default Quick decision on pads

    Noticed a growl when I braked hard this morning, inspected the rotor and I appears that I need a brake job.

    Outboard pad wore down before the in board, so no sensor warning.

    I am picking up Balos rotors for $75 each

    But the big decision is Pagid or Raybestos QS cermaics?

    Pagid unless your wheels are really hard to clean.

    OpParts rotors are like 20 bux each at bma...

    I like the QS, good grip, no noise, no dust.

    I have heard great things about Akebonos--I will be getting some of those shortly to replace my old ass crap squeaking stock fronts. They are also ceramic and supposedly give off very little dust...

    Default To me its a no brainer, either akebono ceramics from tire rack in your

    case or raybestos ceramics. I like it when customers don't complain.

    I use original pads from the stealer - I find them fantastic but I don't know which brand they are.
