I did a bunch of research on brake pads and found that the best pads in my budget were Performance Friction carbon metallic. The lowest price I could find on the net was $110.00. Discouraged at that cost I went to several local auto parts stores and found the same pads @ O'Reilly auto parts for only $60.00!!!!! Same Part No. They look sharper than OEM cause they have a stainless plate on the back that faces out. I haven't really tested them cause they're not broke in yet....But I'm going on a road trip today and gonna run the high speed twisties up @ lake Spavinaw in NE Ok.
