What brake pads would be a good replacement for my stock ones? I have a stock 01 civic. Are the lifetime pads from autozone any good?

TIA

AEM pads

 

I have Hawk Ceramic Performance brake pads and they work great! I use them because i have powerslotted rotors all the way around.

 

I just have regular rotors, can those ceramics be used with those???

 

Yeah they can. It is prefered mostly with powerslotted or crossdrilled rotors because stock pads aren't good for them. The ceramic pads are notorious for limiting brake dust, they also are better for limiting brake noise when stopping, and provide better stopping power than stock pads. You can use them on your rotors if you are concerned about what i mentioned above. Go to www.tirerack.com and look up brakepads, they have hawk ones there that you can read up on. Tire rack is in South Bend, Indiana and only a day away for me for shipping that's why i got them there.

 

the wagner thermoquiets are very good, im not sure if autozone carries them but i know Oreillys does.

 

do lifetimme brakes mean you never need to buy brakes again?
JUst wondering

 

Satisifed Pro Ceramics were brake dust monsters on my g/f's 03 EX she had.

 

If you just need brake pads go with the autozone. No reason getting aftermarket if you have no need for them.

 

get the $12.99 ones
