AutoZone duralast gold pads #236640 Part #DG1282 $43.99. These are as good as anything out there. Quiet and low dust.

There is a pretty strong following of the akebono ceramic pads. I put them on my car a few weeks back. Been great so far.

Im sure they are good pads they have a cult like following. I just got a squeaky set a few years ago for my other car and had to take them off. I threw away $80 pads and put on $4o pads that worked better.

I'm all about the autozone. Not tried the brakes, but they are so helpful in many ways.

I went with whatever B2autodesigns recommended. They were very helpful.

I have the akebono ceramic pads on my SL for a while now. Really like them. They stop the car well, and virtually no brake dust to clean up.

Agreed with the above statement. Akebono is the way to go.

But the Akebono brake pads squeal like crazy first thing in the morning. I hate that and cannot wait to for them to wear away.

The best bang for buck are the Wagner ceramic pads. I’ve used them on all of my cars and you’ll rarely find negative reviews online.

I like the akabono pads, I installed a set on mine not too long ago

My only complaint is they feel a little weak and I don't think they can stop as fast as the OEM pads if put to the test
