rear brake suggestions?

[Ameer Antar]

blau is really over-priced IMO. I really think stock is fine for most 
stuff...good compromise between lots of factors and you know what to 
expect. You can get OE parts from lot's of places, but I've gotten the best 
prices at the Parts Connection [and really good service and they also carry 
non-OE pads too]: http://www.thepartsconnection.com/

and at PAP... http://www.pap-parts.com/
