Id go with the hawk brake pads, notthat exspensive. And alittle better for stopping.

are brakes really that important? i don't see why people go out and blow so much money on "high performance" brakes. i just bought some duralast gold brake pads and they work fine

When you're going 85 mph down the highway and a deer runs out in front of you, do you think those duralast are gonna hold under the heat..? I don't have good things to say about duralast... and I was raised, you get what you pay for.

what ever you do, don't buy BENDIX. They are the worst brake pads ever.

P.S. when you do the rear, make sure you lube the slider pins on the brake caliper. They tend to freeze over time if you don't do this.
