Best Pads? I recently bought new Brembos for my car - drilled and slotted - and need new pads to go along with them.
What are the best, most expensive pads out there?
And what are the best, cheapest pads out there?

I put Wagner Quietstops on with my new rotors & so far I'm very happy with them. The are as quiet & smooth as stock, don't dust anymore & were under $100 for all four. I'm sure there are most aggressive pads out there as far as stopping power, but I didn't want to deal with the increased noise.

I was going to be a smart ***, but I restrained myself. Good for me. 
01 Red WS6 -are they quiet? I put some of autozones duralasts on my wife's S10, and they will not shut up. I put the grease on the back and they still would not be quiet. I'm thinking about trying the wagner pads.

The autozone ones are crap even the guy that worked there told me that. I had a set on my truck and I hated them. The Wagner pads are very quiet. They are the best pads I've found

I'm not saying they are the best I'm saying they were the ones I like the most. Everyone has different ideas of the "best" and to each his own or in Obsessed case Her own
