Default Brake pads...

Hello people. I'm positive this is a very common problem I could very quickly find a solution to IF the search was working right now, but it isn't. So I really appreciate you guys dealing with this and very likely repeating yourselves.

My brake pads needs to be changed. They've been hitting the indicator for the last two weeks now and have been squealing ever since. I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on pads and I don't normally track my car, so I don't need the bestest mostest awesomest brake pads ever. What I need are good pads at a decent price that will hold up to the normal wear and tear along with spurts of aggressive driving. I don't mind picking up another set of OEM pads either if that's just the way to go.

Thoughts? Again, thanks for answering what I'm sure has been answered a billion times before already. (When in the poop is the search going to be working again?)

OEM pads are a good choice for street use.

Awesome. Thanks for the quick response guys. I checked out http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/, but they don't seem to carry them. Is there another place you guys could recommend beside actually just going to the dealer?

Just go to Autozone and pickup some Duralast Gold for $30. Some will hate for this comment, but these pads do the job and you dont have to wait for shipping while you eat away your rotors.

Get the OEM's, lesser pads will not last long (if you drive hard) and will be replaced soon possibly with new rotors....

I've been using Hawk streets. Good pad, no warm up but they dust bad!
