In need of new brake pads
So my brake warning light came on today in my car and I was wondering what kind to get. I don't need anything fancy and I am looking for seomthing that is relatively cheap but still has a really good life to them.
I need a set for just everyday driving, no racing, just simple drive to work drive home from work.
I was looking at EBC GREENSTUFF BRAKE PADS from minimania.com Anyone else have any other suggestions? Even those I found to be a little pricey but whatever.
Thanks everyone.

you might be able to find a set of used factory ones from someone that
changed pads due to the excessive brake dust.

If your sensor came on you might want to check the rear calipers. My brake pad sensor came on around 25000 miles, turned out the rear caliper had seized up so the rear pads were nuked. Front pads were fine though.

I put Hawk HPS pads up front last spring and have been very happy with them. Not as dusty as OEM and a great feel. I have done a little AutoX and track time with them as well, and they seem to do very well for light use.
I bought mine from LTD Motorsports and they have them on sale right now for $84.15 (front) / $80.75 (rear)!

im on DS2500 front and back before i got my wilwood kit on... so far i loved the ds2500, it was predictable on the track, and gave me only a bit of fade after a few hard laps....
i have wilwood bbk now, with A pads up front, ill probably try the hawk hps for the rear next as ive heard nothing but good things about them
