Ill be honest, I?ve probably tried them all. Most auto-parts-stores carry various brands which are essentially the same thing. You get what you pay for. In my experience, the cheaper sets make less noise, but they rake up a shit ton of dust (on your wheels.) Also, I?ve noticed the cheaper pads typically have subtle fitment issues. It?s not big deal, just make sure you use reuse/replace the spring-retainer clips. Otherwise you will get a little ?dink? noise every time you touch the petal. Its more annoying than anything else.

Bendix has always done me right. check www.rockauto.com

if I?m going to tell you to stay away from anything its autozone's 'DURALAST' brand. I've definitely seen better, yet they still work fine and have lasted a good while now.

Ceramic brake pads are popular with many motorists today because they restore like-new brake performance, are quiet, long lasting, low dusting and provide safe sure stops. They handle heat much better than most nonasbestos organic (NAO) friction materials, and are quieter and kinder to rotors than most semi-metallic friction materials.

You will pay a premium for them though. I dont use anything but ceramic on my car.

Also, do the brake job yourself and save yourself some money. Use gloves, wear a mask, dont breath the dust.
