I looked but i would prefer something local so when its time to change my brakes i can just take them off and take them to a store and get a new set for free because of warranty. More convience to me than the shipping and handling.

Can't find "FREE" brake pads....LOL =)

So what you really want is a continuous line of free brake pads. Sorry, I don't know of any high quality brake pads that offer that kinda warranty.... WTF....Does Wally World sell brake pads?

I bought Akebono ProAct ceramics from my local Carquest.
Have been VERY PLEASED with them.
Put them on the front of my 04 Coupe.
No dust, very quiet, stops great.


I had put autozone's Cmax on the 05 Sedan rear, but they don't make them for the fronts- (didn't realize this).
So, Akebono will be going on the front if it too.

noticed the same thing.. they sell the rears not the fronts...
stupid question
seeing as this is my first rwd car, where does the stopping power come from?

Stopping power is in the front.

However, my 05 Sedan wore out the rears first!!

So, keep an eye on both front and back.
