      I have a nice front set up and just bought rotors and pads to do the rear. ATE rear rotors and I called autozone just out of curiosiy... ended up buying crap pads for $15.00. Can't really go wrong with $15 set of four pads with a lifetime warranty for a daily. Others will disagree but the price talks. Installing them now, give you an update soon.

              they just make them hard as rocks. no friction or stopping power, so they last "forever".

                I have them on my car right now because I got them free, but my God. I have no stopping power. I could stop better when I was just running metal on metal.
