Brake pad input needed Ok, I'm getting ready to do a full brake job (new pads and rotors on all 4 corners) and I'm looking for a suggestion on pads. I've done some research and it seems as the Aimco rotors from Autozone are a solid choice... But I can't seem to find much good info on pads.
I'm looking for a good quality pad for a mostly stock car.
Any suggestions?
Edit: These are for a 99 SS

Look at Carbotech. These are great pads and they have several different choices. Call them direct and tell them what you are looking for and they will help you select the best option for your ride. Super customer service.

The original front pads on my 99 LS1 SS lasted 45K and still had another 8-10 left when I changed them. Based on that, I went with the premium GM pads ($100+). The second set have 25K and still look like they have 50% left. The rear pads are the originals (still!.)
