Brake Pads

Anyone know of a good place to get brake pads? Been looking on line and found many different brands and prices. Just looking for what others are using and any +'s or -'s with their pads. Thanks

Thanks wli.

What is the difference between the Z series and the Carbon metallic? They list two different pads and different prices????

the standaard carbon metallic are good pads the "z" series is just the next step up in performance. i ran the standard carbons for years and when they came out with the z series i just started using those. i will say i think the "Z" series are a little tougher on the rotors (a little more groving but no and i repeat no warping) than the standard pads, but i think the added performeance is worth it. you could not go wrong with either one

I personally like Wagner's Thermo Quiet ceramic brake pads. I've never had a warped rotor with these either, even when the factory rotors were turned rather than replaced.
