Icon2 Longest lasting brake pads?

97 dx. I'm looking for a set of front brake pads that will last a long time. This is my daily driver so performance is not important what so ever. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Brake pads are so cheap. Get some that are relatively low noise and good bite with street temp range. Having good pads and fresh fluid is way more important than saving a few bucks.

if you have a manual car then they will last much longer.

and if you get new rotors brake pads will last longer as well.

new pads new rotors should yeild you 50k plus if not way more if manual car. 50k is 4-5 years for a normal person driving to work and back.

Yea it's a manual and I drive like a grandma. I want long lasting pads just because I don't want to have to replace them again anytime soon, not to save a few bucks. Thanks for the replies
