Hey folks, I need some advise. I have a 90 Turbo II with stock brakes and I feel certain it will need new pads soon. Any suggestions on brands would be great. It is mainly my daily driver, but I try to take back roads as often as possible. Thanks.

I just use Raybestos pads from Pep Boys. They're fine for the street.

I love my hawk pads but they dust a lot. They have never given me any fade at the track so i'm sticking with them.

AXXIS Metal Masters, love them with the powerslot rotors. They arent that much money, and they have low dust.

Where do you get your Metal Masters and how much do they cost?

I originally got them from carparts.com or some ****, after getting them I realized you can get them from just about any auto parts store, but I got the rotors and everything from them ALOT cheaper then anyone else. Just make sure you ask for AXXIS brand though, they are made by a major brake company, I cant remember who. When I was doing the brakes on my Lexus, I asked my friends shop if he could get metal masters, and he got them for me, but they werent AXXIS brand, and Im not as happy with those. Oh, the price, I think both front and rear were under $80? Ill look for my reciepts later.
