anything out there better than the next? I typically use Bendix or Wagner pads on my drivers. Just wondering if there was some magical pad that I had to have on my PT turbo?? Gotta do brakes on it this weekend.

thanks,

You want quiet, reliable, and long lasting pads, or do you want loud, dusty, stop-right-f'n-now pads?

some where in the middle would probably suffice :)

I'd go with OE Mopars, or Wagner Semi Metallics. :)

I have Napa Safety Stop pads on mine. Stops great, no squeaks. Replace the rotors too while you're at it. You might have to beat the snot out of them to get them off.

don't go with the autozone ceramic pads... ugh, I did. stop well (until they get hot) no noise but the brake dust is stupid. I thought ceramics were supposed to be void of that. But my Durango has the same pads and gets tons of dust.

Don't go with any Autozone pads I have tried a couple of them and they all seem to suck... They are either loud or dust like crazy.



I put Hawk HPS semi metalics on my wife's car and she has been happy with them. They dust a little but aren't loud and they have nice grip for a street pad.

I agree that Napa pads are good if you are on a budget. Napa ceramic pads also have good reviews.
