    Well i got a tiny squeak from the front ride side of the car. I probably need new pads. Are there some good, long lasting pads, that have stopping power and keep the dust down.

    I use hawk pads on the camaro, and they create NO dust at all and have great stopping power.

    What should i look for? Any autozone or advance auto mart pad to look out for, for a good price?

    I forgot to add, i have never had to change the brakes, is there a how to or do you have any tips. I am sure I can figure it out, but tips are nice. Thanks again

    Won't squeal due to the nylon/teflon shim on the back (no need for anti-squeal grease) and great stopping power. They've made a life time customer out of me.

    I agree with Sabre here. I own a set myself and I could not be happier and the price as compared to the Hawks is really good. You can also find them on eBay for around $40-50 bucks for a full set.
