brake pads

well it is time for some new pads but i'm not sure what i should get. I currently have KVR pads to go with my cross-drilled rotors. The pads have been alright but at times there has been slight fade. anyone have any suggestions for pads? can you please include a price estimate and where to buy them.. thanks

You can't go wrong with OEM parts. $75 for a pair.

horrible idea to not change rotor's with the pads....do them both...blanks are cheaper than BS cross drilled anyway...jsut go get some oem spec ones from crappy tire and some decent pads....

Pad's shouldn't be a problem with only cross-drilled's. Its slotted you have to worry abotu more because they Bite more and shave the pad. And who say's cross drilled's are a waste of money? Top-End sportscar's wouldnt' come stock with them if they weren't better. And on econo-car's with smaller diameter brake's Cross drilled's are quite effective.
