QFE

Duralast CMAX pads are great, have had them for 40-50k miles and still running strong. Low brake dust (if any) and the brake power is great compared to the OEM pads.

pad choice depends on how you brake --example: ceramic for low noise but less grip-
but you have brembo brake calipers and bigger rotors than other TL-s - go with the badazz pads!

OE are ok but not the best- they are a compromise of mom will drive it too gentle on the brakes and younger drivers will abuse them

Excelerate/josh knows his stuff, and has personal experience with most of the parts he sells- as they are also a repair and performance shop
give him a call to discuss your needs

for comparision as a good shopper:
have a look at www.racingbrake.com for more good pad compound info and their et500 and et700 pads for the brembo cars
(700 compound is for super aggressive brakers)
