Default Brake Pads

Yoo,

Whats up guys, whats going on long time no bitch. :banana: I got a bit of a pickle, I currently have about 60-65% left on my brake pads, but when I bought the car from the dealership, they put on these WICKED cheap ones that, at the slightest tap, give off a ****load of dust.

I want to bump up to a better brand but I don't have the money to get a Cobra kit and what not... any suggestions?

I don't really care about the breaking... I usually can gauge the response time pretty well and I'm not usually hauling *** ALL-THE-TIME... so just brake pads that give off less dust are good for me.

OEM brake pads are actually very good. Quiet not a lot of dust. Just get some oem pads and be happy.

I went from the OEM pads to a Carbon Mettalic Pad from autozone and it was a noticeable difference. I love these pads but im sure that there are some better on the market if you have the money.

Im pretty sure that the OEM pads for the newer mustangs like his are ceramic from the factory.
