The brakes I have on my car now are about 6 months old. I'm trying something new to see if it fixes my brakes going thumpy. The more expensive pads and rotors are harder to keep the wheels looking nicer. Harder pads give off less brake dust. But also harder brake pads the hotter they get when stopping which leads to the rotors getting hot then they warp.

I bought the cheapest brake pads because they're the non metallic which means they'll break down easier and stop nicer but more brake dust and will need replaced sooner. My rears are semi metallic because they didn't sell non metallic ones for the back.
