opinions on brake pads needed

[180fan]

alright I'm about to change my brake pads again, but I need some input from those of you who've tried the pads I've got in consideration.

I've currently got PBR metal masters which I didn't think were all that great with their initial bite. The thing that I've really got in consideration though is that a local shop has an unconditional lifetime warranty, so even if they experience normal wear and tear a year from now, I can get them replaced for free. That price is $86.

The ultimates are supposed to be excellent pads from what their dealers are telling me, but I'm somewhat skeptical to believe someone that's trying to sell me something. I know that this is the newest tech hitting brake pads for street that is affordable (endless pads are way out of the budget, etc). But the cheapest I've found these for was 85 shipped via a website called http://www.vividracing.com otherwise I'd normally find them floating around 100.

Another option would be to get some Hawk HPS pads.

Which would be your recommendation based upon the situation I'm in, has anyone heard of vividracing.com, and how different was the braking power versus what I assume would be stock brake pads that you've experienced?
