Which would be the best pad for my 06 5AT? It is a daily driver...

I am going with either EBC Zinc plated or Centric Premium w/paint rotors and have it narrowed down to the following pads:

Akebono premium ceramic
Aspec pads (are they metallic or ceramic?)
RB ET300

 

Honestly if its your daily I would go with a cheap ceramic. Just saying thats my opinion. Aspec I think are ceramic but dont quote me on that. They dont make much noise making me assume they are ceramic.

 

I know you're just looking at the fronts but where are you getting your pads and how much?

Yoparts.com has them for around fifty bucks.

Btw, ceramic/composite brakes will be quieter, or so I hear.

I'll vote ET300. I'v ehad good luck with Racing Brake stuff.
