Question Need suggestions for brake pads please.

I did my research in various GXP forums, and settled on ACDelco pads that run about $45 a pair. Here is an example of some at this link http://www.brakepadwholesale.com/sea...rce=GOOGLEBASE. I now want to replace both front and rear, and was wondering if I should just buy the same kind, or is there a cheaper alternative that is nearly as good? $100 for new brakes just seems like a lot.

EBC are twice as much. Just change them more often if they are working well for you.

I run thermoquiet ceramics and love them. Stay dust free and last a long time. I think I picked up mine for around $120.

$45 is pretty cheap really. If you like them, stick with them.

I went with the AC Delco Durastops, and I'm very happy with them. Pretty good braking power and very very little dust.

$100 for front/rear pads isn't bad at all honestly.
