87:replacing brake pads
only drive the car, don't race it or auto X
what brand of pads and rotors (should I need them also) should i look for.
it has the stock 9.5 wheels with the Z52 suspension if that helps any.
looking for braking improvement but under normal driving conditions.
should I increase size of rotor? etc.
thanks for the input. :seeya

Carbons, Ceramics, etc are pricey and may not be worth the money for your driving habits

I've done my rears and recently fronts with Raybestos PG Plus pads and like the results. Fronts cost about $90 for the axle at a local parts house.

Re: 87:replacing brake pads (Lv2Driv)
I bought a pair of Hawk pads and the breaking is way better now. I was running the raybestos pads before and was getting a clanking sound when you hit the brakes and it was impossible to get the things to lock up. So for a normal drive your braking distance will improve :yesnod: :yesnod:
