Way Motor Works on NAM sells plenty of brake pads. Check out the web site for information on various options. If you have questions I would give him a call and talk over your options. I have not done business with him but I have not heard a bad thing about him and the posts I have read by him are very complimentary.

Might want to check the thickness of the rotors and they usually are done when the pads are.

Spend a little more and get some good EBC pads at the minimum.

Typically $40-60 pads will be really high metal content, making them squeaky, and a lot more dust. You get what you pay for.

You might check out TireRack, they have brake parts in their upgrades area. It looks like they have some semi-metallic close out pads for $17.....
