    I got a great set of ceramic pads and rotors from my local NAPA store. The pads have been on the my wife's '06 S for 5 years and have about 45k on them. They are low dust, grab well and pretty quiet.

    Out motoring, I got EBC Redstuff brake pads for the front and rear, don't forget to get two brake wear indicators, one is on the left front, the other is on the right rear.

    I bought new rotors at Autozone, the rotors will be worn out too.

    Where ever you get them from, buy Centric rotors and Akebono pads. :Thumbsup: Got mine from Amazon.

    I'm not a big fan of ceramic pads, they are too hard and don't bite. I'd rather have dirty wheels than terrible brake feel.

    Rock auto does good prices. I've had good luck with Bendix semi metallics, they were on close out for like 15 bucks..

    Ebc coats the pads with red paint that sometimes needs to be filed off the runners where the pad makes contact with the caliper to avoid brake drag.
