Along those lines, any suggestions on what a good pad is for the stock
brakes? Pagid?  Which one?  Any pad out there that makes less dust but
still has good pedal feel?  Had a set of organic pads once on my Coupe
GT that had zero dust but no braking in the wet for the first second or
two -- scary!

>I will echo what Vincent suggests.  It is absolutely amazing the
difference a new set of pads and rotors makes.  I no

confidence in the brakes again.  I think the problem with >the OEM set
up is that after you wear them about a third of the way, or so, the
system gets too much flex in it and you

money for now you can put in new rotors and pads all
>the way around for $300 or less.  And then upgrade to Big Reds/Blacks
as the pocket book allows.
