According to your sig, your car's drivetrain is basically OE, so I'd suggest some OEM pads. Not too spendy, and they always seem to fit and work just fine....hmm...

I've been into HAWK pads as of late, but with your basically stock car, wouldn't just about any brand of factory replacement brake pad work??

KVR pads are good replacements for OEMs. No damage to rotors and the smell of burnt carbon material after rough driving is to kill for...

I used Wagners from O'Reilly last time. Much better that the crap that I used before. Doesn't seem to be as prone to squealing and the intitial bite is pretty good. Fine for a stock ride. I was happy with 'em.

:D

Anyway, if you plan on doing the Z32 swap later on, I'd just get some cheap OE replacement pads for now. How do your rotors look?
