Got them from Tire Rack for something like $75 front, $60 rear. Gentle on rotors, good stopping, easy cleaning dust.

Rears only lasted ~12K miles, fronts ~22K. Watch them close as the chirper doesn't make noise till too late.

i just got the regular PFC's for my daily driver. i don't often race, so i figured i didn't need the z-rated pads, which need a bit of warming up to grab better.

I went for the PFC Z rated pads. You can get them at autozone. They come with a life time warranty.

I use the EBC Green pads. I'm on my second season and they still look new. I run auto-x and 1 hight speed event and drag race all year and they stop great. :cheers:
