best brake pads for your buck?

[CL MaNTis GST]

Looking into getting some brake pads, now im kinda limited right now as far as $$ because of all other mods i got ordered. my brakes are starting to squeak so i need new pads and possibly rotors.

yea i know i should go with a good big brake kit, but im being cheap!
should i just go look for OEM stuff at the auto parts store?
any links? i need something cheap but that will work.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

as far as i know there really isn't a good cheap pad, this is a time that you get what you pay for. i havent really looked into it because i am broke but from what i have heard and what little i have looked into EBC, Porterfield, and Axis metal masters seem the most popular. i am going to get the porterfield street pads pretty soon but i dont think that they are cheap in comparison to the others. places like RRE ( www.roadraceengineering.com ) and mach V ( www.machv.com ) sell brake accesories. i would suggest looking at their inventory. you might also want to do a search of the forums and see if there have been posts like this before, and if so see what people have said before because i am no expert.
good luck

Axxis metal masters are really nice.. I have yet to fade them.. but i dunno how you drive so you just might for the front it was like 58 bucks.. I know its pricey but well well worth the money.

thanks

do they squeak? Thats part of my problem, i had squeaky breaks.. they got new pads and new rotors... and they still squeaked!!

where ever you buy mods for your car they will surely have them.. they only squeek when it is very cold out side and if they do it last about 5 seconds
