Brake pads

[Andrew Shea <anshea@hawk.anselm.edu>]

 Just took my 4000cs out for a drive.  After some thought, I've decided
I want to do something (small) about my brakes.  I just had (a couple
months ago) new rotors put on.  Found out later that I could have gotten
drilled rotors for the price that the garage charged me for the solid
rotors.  Needless to say I have a new mechanic.  Anyhow, what will the
benifit be, if any, of going to new pads?  What brake pads are out there
for the 4000?  How expensive will they be?  Will they actually improve
my braking, or am I imagining things?  
	BTW (ha, ha),  Don't get me wrong, my brakes would be fine if my mother was
driving, but she's not!  I don't need to stop like a super car, but I do
want slightly better preformance.  Thanks again!
