good pads:
Prostop ceramic (pep boys, they are in my car now)
EBC green/yellow/red stuff
Hawk
Brembo

try and go ceramic or sport semi metallic if possible
i chose ceramic cause i had to replace mine (still had some wear on them) at 28200.
I have HUGE hills i go down and they have to brake heavy
Despite what neone says tho, dont make the same mistake i did
DEF get the rotors resurfaced (i was told dont bother)
you can take them off and bring them to pepboys to get resurfaced (turned) for 20 bux or less
def worth it!
