Default Advanced Auto pads...

..any good? I need rotors something fierce so while I was there I was gonna pick up some pads.

I'm not interested in spending an arm and a leg for super-duper holy **** look at me stop pads/rotors.

I also need them in like 2 days so ordering online is out of the question.

Any suggestions on pads from places like Schlep Boy, Autozone, etc.

I tried a search but nothing useful really come up, mainly just pissing matches.

Thanks

Autozone Duralast rotors and stock pads will probably do you just fine. If you can find them within your timespan then Hawk HPS are another good choice. I've also had good luck with Performance Friction Carbon Metallics, which I think are available at Autozone...

I'd love to go with OEM pads but they're over $100 from GM

I'll try those performance friction ones you said
