Advice on brake pads
I'm looking to replace the pads on my 2001 gt. I am curious as to what other people recommend. I'm guessing most will recommend ceramic. I do not drive it hard. It does not go through real heavy braking. Just a normal dd.

I use the Raybestos Ceramics ( for ~$48). You can get the "Professional Grade" Ceramics (Part # PGD804C) for about $36 from Rock Auto.
Just the ones that I choose. They work really well for me. YMMV.
