Default Brake Pads Suggestion for 03-05 Non Brembo?

anyone have a suggestion for some decent brake pads for my 2003 350 non brembo with drilled slotted rotors. Is my DD, I want performance, but not something thats going to cause a giant mess and need to be changed hella quick. and if thats not enough already, I dont want to spend too much on pads haha.

Thanks,

nick

The Red's seem to grab a little quicker, but they also seem harder on rotors, in terms of wear. I use Red's on my Z, and green's on my Alfa Spider's (much lighter cars, but still good sized brakes). I like the EBC's, in general, because they're low-noise, low-dust, and especially because they have a break-in coating which cleans the old pad residue from your rotors. Follow the bed-in procedure on EBC's site.

There are as many different opinions on pads as there are typs of pads - doesn't hurt to ask. BTW, I always buy mine from amazon.com, as they seem to have the best price, and as a prime member I get free shipping.

Time for new pads. There are not too many threads regarding brake pads, but after reading a few it seems ebc is the way to go. Red for street. Yellow for track.
