OEM replacement brake pads
I need some recommendations for a good and inexpensive brake pads to replace my OEM pads. Where can I order them and how much would that cost compared to the OEM parts? TIA

OEM pads replacement
Is it Autozone brand pads?? $30 for a pair of front is really cheap. How is it compared to the OEM in terms of braking power, dusting, noise & etc?

^ I'm also curious how the Autozone pads stack up against OEM. Braking, dust, noise?
It should also be noted that Autozone brake pads come with a lifetime warranty (duralast cmax ). If you wear them out, bring them back in and they will give you a free set as a replacement. Basically, you never have to buy another set of pads ever again!

Why do you want to go BACK to the squeaky, very dusty OEM pads?
how are your autozone pads holding up?

Great question, I was thinking about this also. I find OEM pads always squealing when cold. I have about 10% left on my front ones. Has anyone tried another brand that's just as effective but no squeal?

My report so far (approximately 200 miles on rear's only): Minimal brake dust. stiff braking but forgiving once warmed up. I had to ditch the shims tho because they wouldn't fit 
no noise so far - more quiet than my HP+'s that are at 50%
So far...not bad. Wouldn't suggest strapping them on for tracking though - I haven't tested em' out under heavy breaking...

I'm running the Hawk street ceramics. Very quiet but so far they actually feel a little softer in the pedal. That could be me just getting used to them 
Little dust so far and I've been running them for about 3-4 weeks. Got them from Racing Beat. Seem to stop nicely when I get down on them.
