Autozone has lifetime pads for a decent price. Usually not more then 35 bucks. Use em up and take em back and you get a brand new set for free.

Yup, Autozone... Pep Boys used to do this but stopped. I haven't bought pads for my Truck since 1997!

Get the good semi-metallics (Duralast brand) and just replace (Swap) them every year.

Bendix from Advance or Wagner Thermoquiet, I've used both and liked them. The Bendix are what I use on my car everyday.

EBC Redstuff suits me fine, not cheap though.

I use Lifetime pads, but only on car's I'm gonna keep forever, or at least a really long time.

Ive heard Hawk has some pretty good pads, I have always used stock ones but if I ever go aftermarket I would go Hawk.

ive used hawk pads on both the stock calipers and the wilwood calipers, and they work great. they dont give off as much dust as the other brands ive seen (the stuff they sell at autozone) so thats a plus since it doesnt get as dirty between washes.

A lot of guys here in the local sports car club who autocross swear by Hawk HP+. They are real aggressive without being unstreet-worthy. If you want something that is more for just daily driving and not for occasional track days, go with Hawk HPS.

+1. Great feel, low dust, saved my ass a few times.

And when their gone take em back and get a new set.

i drive like 5 miles out of my way to go to a good Autozone, the one around the corner from me is run my hispanic(I am Puerto Rican so I am not being racist) people and they don't know shit, and hate to help you out.
