From your experience, is it worth spending twice as much money to get premium (Hawk, EBC, etc) pads or should I save some pennies and get something cheaper like Satisfied Pro or Akebono?

What about mix and match (i.e. "premium" pads up front and cheapos in the rear)?

I have to check the invoice from the stealer when they did the TSB on my brakes to see if they replaced the rotors or just turned them. If they simply turned them I will replace with Brembos.

 

What it's worth is soley dependant on the person and what they do with the car.

 

OK let's assume the car is used only for street use - no tracking.

 

Then stick with Wagner's. Great pads for a great price.

This is what the box looks like in case you haven't come across it before:
