Default Brakes - best parts?

Hey all,

I've got a brake job coming up on my Bonne, and I'm wondering if anybody has had success with any specific brand or model of parts. It seems that I go through brakes awful fast (about 1.5 years on the front and 2 years on the rear).

Any tips or suggestions are welcome.

thanks in advance!

Switch to ceramic. They last longer, brake harder, and very little dust.

I have had awesome experiences with Raybestus. Rock Auto carries Raybestus.

I put on Autozone ceramics not that long ago, seems to be less dust. No problems so far.

Ceramic pads are the way to go!

Raybestus is the best I've had.

Thanks all,

How about Calipers, I'm over 100K now - should that be a consideration?
