brake pads
My car doesn't seem to stop as fast as it should. My stepdad tells me it's because they're no longer the original asbestos pads, but are now metallic/semi-metallic. Anybody else have this problem? And what kind of pads is everyone using?

This'll get a lot of different replys... But here's my opinion. He's right that they're not asbestos... I can't remember when they changed, but they went to an organic type pad. That's the kind I use. Others will tell you that they've had better luck with, and prefer metallic and semi-metallic pads.
