Brake pad gurus... help!

I need front brake pads. My buddy (a car parts manager) suggests I go with "PBR Metal Master High Performance Semi metallic brakde pads".

Sopposedly, they are top-fo-the-line stuff!

Anyone hear of these?

BTW! I paid his cost, $26.00 even.

I need to install pads this weekend!

Thanks guys!

from what I heard those are the same Axxis Metal Master. Popular choice. At $26 for a pair is a deal! How many miles on the stock pads?

I have used PBR DeLux pads and they are great, easy on the rotors and very little dust. The stock rotors are bad enough without Meta Master. The Metal Master will chew up your rotors in no time. Go with the DeLux
