I need to replace my break pads. The front left is making a lot of noise all of sudden.
What are a decent brand for our cars? I don't need top of the line, but I don't want the cheapest either. I was thinking getting ceramic, but if those tend to wear more quickly, then I am ok choosing another option.
I have powerslot rotors paired with EBC red stuff pads. Stop awesome and have a little bit more dust than stock. I also have no noise from them. Hawk is a other good brand too.
Has anyone else used the Hardex? They are really cheap on ebay; between 1/2 and 1/3 of the price I have seen for pads elsewhere. I am worried about getting something, well, cheap.

Going the cheap route often ends up costing more $$, time and aggravation. Buy a decent/name brand that folks have had luck with and be done. Besides, you're talking about the ability to stop your expensive car. Don't skimp on brakes.
