Im no brake expert, or an expert on anything for that matter.....but, i was a parts sales manager at auto zone for 10 months and i learned that just because the pads last a long time definately does NOT mean they are great pads. The harder the pad, the longer they can last and harder they are on your rotor. Plus the softer pad gets better stopping power. Check out your local parts store and check out what they have in performance pads. Just about any of them will offer a good performance pad and at auto zone, all but two brands had lifetime warranties. No, this doesnt mean they are going to last a lifetime, we replaced them every time they wore out, free of charge! I did it all day every day. Its worth checking into.
