Man.. You must be doing some hard core AutoX'ing in that bad boy..

I had Satisfied Pro Ceramic pads on my 04 and they were fantasic. Not a lot of people have tried them, as it is much easier to find Hawks and the like.. But give them a shot, you will be pleased.

How bad are the rotors? They probably don't need resurfacing. Of course some will say always do it and some say never. I'm in the middle. Depending on how rough it actually is. But if you need pads this soon, they might need resurfacing.

So far as pads, I like the Hawks. A little better than OEM. Get them at Pepboys.

I've always had good results with Hawk HPS pads for street use. They're a few dollars more than OEM, but will hold up to more abuse.

How many miles do you have on your 07?
