Performance Friction is pretty good. I replaced the stock pads with these and they work much better.

Thanks!
Yeah, contact me for Bendix Titaniums. They are really good. I have them on my car and like them better than the EBC Green-Stuffs I had before. Those things made ridiculous amounts of dust, warped my rotors and started peeling off the backing plates prematurely. Plus they're expensive. I am so happy with my brakes now that my only upgrade form here is to add SS brake lines, which I have in possession now, and just need to be installed!

Paid Stazi a little over $200 for all 4 rotors and pads. Very happy. Bought same pads for my SHO. Both cars brake nicely now. The SHO scared me when I stepped on the brakes. It's much improved. Minimal dusting.

There are 3 lines of NAPA pads:
1) True Stop (green and white box): Cheap junk. Good only for beater cars and really poor people. Guaranteed to squeal within a year from what I am told. Part numbers start with TS.
2) United Products: Also called "Application Engineered", grey box with pictures on it. Middle of the road in price, should be relatively good pads for the money. Part numbers start with AE. Also come in a "Ceramix" variety for some applications, and those P/N start with CMX IIRC - we don't sell many Ceramix due to the cost.
3) Safety Stop: Top pad line, not sure if the extra price is worth it over the AE brakes. Blue and yellow box. Part numbers start with SS.
The most popular pads are the AE sets. I bet the Ceramix are the low dust variety, if I had to guess. I don't have any of them on my car so I can't really tell you anything from personal experience. I have heard complaints about the Ceramix killing rotors though (I bet they're better on vented rotors like ours).
I run the Mintex A/F on my car. Just as good (if not better) than OEM and slightly better in the dust department (but still not all that good).
