Default Brake Pads

Hey guys,

I think I might need new brake pads. I notice that when I want to stop the car I have to press down the brake pedal quite a bit (almost all the way down) and my wife also notice that you have to press the brake more to come to a complete stop. The weather has been real bad in my area so I have not taken off the wheel to look at the pads. Am I missing something, is there an adjustment for the braker pedal or is it just that I need new pads (car is a 2000 with 34k ).

Also if it is new pads that I need, which ones should I get. I read did a search and some say use the greenstuff and others says the OEM ones. What do you guys think.

Thanks all
AGC

Sounds like you need new pads if you're having to press down harder on the pedal than you usually do. I've heard positive reviews on the EBC pads as well, but I don't think you can go wrong with OEM.
