Default What pads to use?

It's come time to change my pads on my 00 Si.

I'm not looking to spend alot of pads, but want high quality that can withstand hard braking.

I used to hear good things about EBC Greenstuff, but people said they have a tendancy to warp rotors, so i decided against them.

I hear good things about Axxis, as well as AEM (which are priced pretty well).

So right now, i'm leaning towards the AEM. Anyone have any comments about AEM or what i should use? Like i said, i'm not looking to spend alot, and i like the $50 for the front and $40 for the rear price tag of the AEM's.

Also post links if you can, of where AEM's, or what you recomend, are cheapest.

Thanks ALOT, in advance.

On groupbuycenter.com, there's a buy on the Axxis. Was wondering myself if they were good or not, haven't heard any complaints on them so that's always a plus. I'll be ordering some Brembo blanks at the same time also.

OEM!!!!!!!! If your car does not have major modifications then you should stick with OEM pads...

What do you do with your car?

EBC greenstuff pads will not warp your rotors on a street car, I've had mine with Powerslot rotors for 60k miles and no issues. No track days but I autox on them. They are a great street pad, but not a great track pad and they work ok for autox.

Cheers,
Sean
