The pads under heavy braking don't fade like that of a semi metallic or organic, they heat up to point of damaging the rotor.I've swapped to a NAPA premium rotor but a standard semi metallic pad and that seemed to do the trick. I still now have a slight shimmy but I never did do the rears so those are next.edit: I have a 2004 Quest SE I've swapped to a NAPA premium rotor but a standard semi metallic pad and that seemed to do the trick.

I feel fortunate compared to other stories I have heard. The rotors were turned twice; at 24K and 30K due to warping.I replaced the rear brake pads at 32K about the same time as the tires.I am wanting to know what other people may have found to be quality replacement brake pads and rotors to mitigate the brake system problems. Hopefully I can use the info to make a better decision for my front brakes.thanks! I replaced the rear brake pads at 32K about the same time as the tires.
