Not sure if this would be the right spot to post or not.

My pads are spent and I need some new ones. I am just curious if anyone has any suggestions for new pads? Not looking to spend a ton but obviously want something good. Rotors are still in great shape, perhaps next time I will swap them.

Thanks.

most folks post it over in the General section for more attention
This thread had a couple of recommendations
http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=32413&highlight=brakes

either NAPN Ceramics or the 'Satisfied' sound pretty good - also I'd doublecheck the rotors - it's common even for new from the factory rotors to be a minimum thicknesses - which makes them easy to warp.

I love it when you are in the middle of a job and your jeep is apart and you get a emergency work call. Luckily wife was home so I took hers down to the office. Got to love copper thieves, they hit a unit on our roof and broke a water pipe on the side of the building. In the end I got the pads installed and boy oh boy does it stop nicely. The old pads were almost completely gone, maybe an 1/8" left. Just proves once again not to trust most dealerships.

Thank you for your help all.
