HELP! Need Break Pads
Does anyone know where I can buy quality break pads? The dealer would charge $1000 to replace the front and back pads on our 02 LS. A local shop will do the same thing at a much lower price. I just need to get my own break pads. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Don't know where the sell break pads, but the forum you are in, "TIRE RACK" sells excellent brake pads. I just bought mine for the SC. Cost $72.00 total for fron and back + shipping. takes about 30-45 minutes to change pads only. DIY

mkorsu,
Did you buy the Akebono’s ProACT™ Ceramic Disc Pads? I saw this one on tirerack.com. But it only has front fitment. What kind did you get for your SC? How long have you had them? Thanks!

I only just put my pads on this past Saturday and it feels GREAT!!! I was getting so used to the worn pads, I forgot how the car SHOULD stop! And it only took me about 2 hours total for the job, and that included cigarette and beer breaks, and an oil change.
My suggestion, see if Tire Rack Offers the Satisfied pads, and enjoy a nice weekend afternoon changing your pads.
