lifetime warranty is just for defects and manu. mess ups, although there are several idiots working at these parts stores that don't know that, so if youre wanting free brake pads, goto advanced

 

I had AEM pads all the way around on my EG. But my EK uses Hawk HPS up front. I think I like the Hawk's better.

 

yes.. but i would highly advise agaisnt them.. they're a very hard compound so they don't wear down.. it'll last practically forever, but braking performance is absolutely sh*t..

if your car is stock, just stick with oem. it comes with all the shims and grease to keep the brakes quiet and the performance is decent for daily driving.. not too aggressive, not too mild. most aftermarket pads don't come with shims so you'll have to deal with squeal (you can reuse the shims that are on the pads now, but that'll only last so long).
