Gotta do the front pads soon, stock rotors still look good.
Any ole POS from autozone, or is there a general consensus for a favorite?
I don't know what's on there now, but brake dust is a PITA.

Hawk brake pads are the bomb... I had them all the way around on my Integra and it was a remarkable difference... you should check them out... EBC isnt bad either I hear with the brake dust, but I know Hawks got bite...

Thanks- I heard about these Hawks. They come highly recommended by the BMW crowd.

Bendix are pretty good for anything brake wise. I wouldn't buy any kind of ceramic pad though. Those things shatter all the time.
