Any new brake pads come out?

Its time that I am going to change my rear pads. Its 37k miles and time for some new ones. Has anything new come out? Who thinks what is best at a good price. I think I bought my fronts for around $60

wow, sound like you handle the brake very rough cuz my 2006 tc has 50k miles on it and my brake is still as good, just got 50% left on the pads before I replace a new pad.

My suggestion is to stay away from ceramic pads . They will chew up your rotors in no time . I would rather replace pads than rotors . Just simple advice but , good luck with whatever you decide .

Whats a place that sells a good pad then? It doesnt matter how fast they wear out (because im replacing them myself) ...I just want something good and at a good price.

Brake designs are some good guys to deal with . Google it . Axxis Deluxe is a good middle of the road type pad . Little dust . About $63.00 for all 4 . Good luck

^ if i remember I put them on my fronts. Where is the best spot to get axxis pads for the rear? I know there used to be a lot of webpages selling them for good prices (back a year ago)
