Which Break Pads to buy?
I thought that AEM pads are good but I cant find them anywhere for 2002 model. Does somebody know where I could get those or are there any other good pads for a reasonable price???

Don't tell me, others are better like AEM or axxis or endless, in overall, unless you have modified brakes, because I had axxis and endless on my car at one time.
Plus you could find wagner pads just about anywhere and they are fairly cheap.

I resurfaced rotors and installed Axxis Metal Master front brake pads few days ago, did you had any problem with stock rotors?

Blown is Best
I like the Porterfield R4S pads. If you don't want to go that route, Stock pads are a good choice if you're not an aggressive driver. The new compound seems to work better than the original stock pads.

you had dust problems with metal masters?? I thought they were fairly clean. But yah, they would warp stock rotors like crazy. I think the stock rotors just suck. I now have Endless and those race concept rotors and it works well.
I'd still say the Axis metal masters were good and really dust free in my experience.
