Good racing pad. They make street/AutoX compounds also.

I usually just get the lifetime warranty pads from Autozone. Then I don't have to pay for brake pads ever again. They aren't the world's best brake pads made from engineered compounds with minimal stopping distances, but they've worked pretty well for me always.

the oem type organic pads dust like hell and they wear down every other year. buying ceramic pads will reduce the dusting and pad changes. what did i do? i ordered a set of oem type organics from napa today as well as a new set of front rotors. i think i'll have to wait on the expensive pads. i did enjoy the links though and if anyone has any more, please feel free to post them up.
