Default Brake pads
Gotta buy a set for my 92. I've heard NAPA mentioned a couple of times and we have NAPA stores up here. (no Pep Boys or Auto Zone). Also, I have all the catalogs so I COULD order some.

Suggestions: Quality vs. Price.???

I'm using NAPA brake pads on mine now and no problems. Very happy with them. I've heard the Mintex brand pads are excellent, too. Just ordered a set for my BMDubb daily driver.

I just installed NAPA Ceramix

Going to the cruise in and running around the mountains

I took off the carbon metallic, great stopping but I couldn't stand the dust

I'll let you know what I think when I get back

I installed Raybestos PG Plus - front & rear last year. Been working great, no noise, very little brake dust. About $145.00

I just installed a set of Hawk pads, while they stop awsome. The squeel like a pig in heat (does that make sence??)

Napa Ceramix. Guess I'll give em a try. How are they for squeaking and dust. Anybody out there using them now that would like to comment. I don't do any serious racing...but other folks around me do, so brakes are pretty nice to have.

Actually, mine work well, but lots of dust and I'm getting a very irritating and embarrassing squealing when I back up. Nothing forward.

I'd look at the hawk street pads and the EBC green pads. Vette Brake Products swears by the Hawks so that's what I went with.
