Cant get the metal masters for a 9-5.
Right now I have the Akebono Euro Ceramics and really like them (only about 400 highway miles on them though). The reveiws people were giving me about them were great, high life, good bite and low dust.

The best pads to date that I have had on my car were the Hawk HPS. Those were awesome, but a bit pricey. Then again they were only like $15 more than the Akebono's. Oh well.

Make sure you put new rotors on there as well. At $49 a peice from eeuro, and free shipping, it really is the best bet.

this is my dads dd and he's been hearing this horrible sound from the pads being worn down... i can def feel ridges in the rotors so now i'm thinking brembo blanks on the front :D

so i ended up ordering front akebonos from GS... they say GM on em though... are these the same as stock front pads?
