Default What are the best Bang for the buck Brake Pads?

My front brake pads are on there way out and i need to replace them asap.
Not looking for anything fancy. Just something that are as good as oem pads if not better for a good deal. It has been a very long time since i have shopped for any car parts online and i figure someone on here knows where i can get a deal.

Thanks

Well, majestichonda.com and handa-accessories.com have good prices for OEM pads and parts in general.

We put Hawk pads on my wife's GTI. They do a good job.

You may want to consider braided stainless steel lines.

OEM is the best, don't dust, and there is no need for high performance ones that are noisy and dust everywhere if you are not competing.

There are even track people that use OEM pads. OEM's certainly more than enough for the street.

OEM. If you can't afford OEM pads you can't afford an S2000.
