My front pads are almost wore out; I'd estimate less than 5k miles left on them. I put new rear pads in a little over a year ago, but I was dumb and bought the el-cheapo pads from Advance. They dust like a mo-fo and it's driving me crazy. I drive less than a hundred miles and the rear wheels are coated. So, I'm going to replace all 4 corners at once on my break over Labor Day weekend.
My main criteria is low dust (the lower the better) and quiet operation. Whatever is on the front now is what I like. I have no idea if they've ever been changed before I got the car, but the car has 100,000 miles and they are pretty much worn out.
Should I go with a set of aftermarket ceramics (Hawk, Porterfield, etc.)? Or stick with OEM? Aftermarket seems to run in the $150 range, while OEM pads go in the $130 range.
Gimme yo opiniones.
