Brake Pad reccomendation

My Rear drivers side brake is squeeking and a year ago the pad was close to the end of its life. I plan on keeping stock rotors, anyone have suggestions for pads?

I've had great luck with Wagner Thermoquiet ceramic pads. Long lasting, very clean (almost no dust) and reasonably priced ($26 shipped, from Amazon). The part number is QC537 (you should double check though). The fronts are $33 shipped, the number is QC787. Rotors are pretty cheap too, you may want to re-consider sticking with the originals.

No, the fronts are quite a bit bigger (as are the rotors).

StopTech has good pads. I'm running EBC red in the rear right now and Hawk HPS in the front.

I changed my front and rear rotors with slotted and cross drilled rotors and bought the Centric posi quiet ceramic pads, so far so good!

id run stop tech performance pads all around.. not only is it a fair price but its really great stopping power. DOWN fall is..; it emits a lot of dust

stock pad for rear for the lose .. stock pad is too soft and small. the way our brake system was designed .. the rear goes out about 30k miles with regular usage.

i'd go with Racingbrake ET500 all around. I have 110k mi on my car .. had the ET500 since around 60k. the rear is still VERY meaty.

Depending what you are looking for. If you want aggressive and performance, then go Project mu, Endless, or Hawks HP+.

If something to just replace, EBC, Hawk (the basic line), akibono will be good.

Since this thread is 5 months old, I hope the OP made up his mind by now.
