Welcome to DTR

Get the cheapest pads you can get. Don't get life time pads, they will eat your rotors.

Well, I wouldn't advise just getting the cheapest pads you can get unless you like having a lot of brake dust on your wheels. I went with performance friction pads and have been happy.

I just changed out my front pads and rotors a few weeks ago. I went with the EBC slotted and dimpled rotors and I went with the EBC green supreme pads. I noticed a huge difference in feel.

I usually buy the pads that are the next one up from the cheapest but not the expensive ones that eat up your rotors. It is better to have break dust then to buy expensive rotors every other brake change.

I use the Wagner Thermo quiets. No brake dust. And my rotors have over 200,000 on them and have only been turned once. But they are expensive.
