Which brake pads to get?

[esprit]

Heya,

Got to change my front and rear sets of brake pads and was wondering what experiences people have had with various brands. Now I am a poor uni student so I dont have mountains of cash lying around me to buy brands like Bendix and Endless or anything like that unfortunately ;) So basically I'm looking for something that gives the best bang for buck.

Any suggestions?

Can I just start off by saying Bendix is a cheap ass alternative to brands LIKE Endless, Pagid, Ferodo etc.

Uhm that discpad.com site doesnt exist dude, theres nothing on it :p

I've seen some cheap-arse brand pads for sale at super cheap auto for $49 per set, but I'm very hesitant about buying them :rolleyes:

There has been heaps of threads on this stuff, some of which are *sticky* . Do a search there are heaps of options, depends really on your type of driving, and how much you are willing to pay, what you consider expensive some may consider cheap.
