Default Brake Q's

Hey Everyone,

I've been m.i.a. since I got my ride. I bought it in April, and have thrown down 15k miles on it. So far so good. However, the pads are wearing down.

Anyone have any recommendations on what types of brake pads I should get, costs etc.? Please provide links if you can.

Thanks for your help.

Here's a pic. for everyone to enjoy.

just an FYI, I have Hawk pads and they stop like a beaaatch but they make some noise in the process. I'm not sure if they were broken in properly due to the noise but they are some bad azz stopppers. I hear the EBC are good daily driver brake pads that offer better performance than stockers without noise too.
