I just put these on last week. http://www.federal-mogul.com/cda/con...6_7293,00.html I purchased them from Hi-Lo O'Reilly for $51.99 a pair. Their supposed to be really good on brakedust and noise. I haven't really had them long enough to give a good personal review but the brake shop guys and the Hi-Lo guys raved about them. They seem to stop pretty well.

Some people have good luck with different pads than others. I had the terrible warped rotors when the car was new. Dealer warrantied the rotors at 15K, but they were warped again by 25K. Went to Pepboys and had Raybestos rotors and their "premium" pads. Well, warped again at 45K. Went to Autozone and bought the lifetime warranty rotors and pads and I've had no problems at all. No warpage, not a lot of break (just kidding!!) brake dust. My car has 86K on it now. The only problem I had with the Autozone stuff was the rear rotors are bare metal on the cap and it rusted up pretty quick. I'd paint the exposed part before installing. I'm just too lazy to go back and sand off the rust and paint now that they're on! But, some people hate Autozone. Some people have had success. I'm pretty surprised they've lasted as long without problems. Just my two cents.
