need new brake pads, which ones?

what places sell the same stock brake pads as my 04 jcw has? also, im getting 18's this week, i should be good with the stock JCW brakes right? are there other brand pads that i should go with when i replace my stockers?

also, around what milage should i change the brake pads? im at 21,500.

and instead of making another thread, might as well ask here...what all do i need to check for like a tune up. fluids and all. im getting ready to change the oil, brake fluid is good, gonna check the brake pads as well.

basically its at 21k miles and needs to be tuned up, as it hasent been in about 12k miles and i dont want to hurt my engine anymore than i probably am already

if you havent changed your oil since 12k miles and its 21k now (9kmiles) then there is a possibility your motor is messed up. That is retarded

When do you change your oil and clean your airfilter?
