    I'd just go with the autozone special unless you plan to do some performance driving. The problem is with most performance orientated brakes is that you get more dust then OEM.

    Go to Advance and get the Friction Master Ceramic pads (Ceramic pads- colorless dust to minimum dust)...they are around $40...but make sure you inspect the rotor cuz if it's warped then it will eat away at the pads in no time.

    This is true...but Friction Masters' are good or you can go with Bendix at Advance cuz they have a 2 for 1 deal with them. It comes with a piece of paper inside the box, fill it out, send it to the addy and they send you back a coupon for a free set of pads when those mess up. It's the closest thing to factory and they are around the same price as the Friction Master or maybe just a little more.

    I put Hawk HPS pads on mine and the brake dust just about doesn`t exist! They also perform awesome. They are a little expensive but I think they were worth the extra cash.
