Default Brake Pads

Hey guys, my stock pads are about done and I was looking at aftermarket ones. I don't track my car and was just looking for pads that improve street performance from the oem ones, have somewhat good life, and are relatively inexpensive. Any suggestions/advice would be welcomed. Thanks

OEMs are best for street use

Sometimes, when you go looking for that magic bullet, someone shoots you in the back.

i think oem's are good
i think they dust less than any other pads

if you want something alil better try the axis ultimates or metal masters. but the warning is that they do dust quite a bit more

OEM is good if you don't beat the living hell ouf of your car's brake

AXXIS ulitmate is one of the best upgrade if you want more bite for your rotor.

they are ceramic pad, as quiet as OEM(YES, i just picked up my third set today), much more bite than OEM pads, they runs you about 75 for front and rear.

the only thing bad is the dust.

Hawk HPS pads are good also, so is cobalt pads

If it's just for the street, OEM's are fine.
