Anyone know anybody that carries 07+ Brake pads for sure besides dealerships? I realize that our rotors are bigger than the previous years and I don't want to buy a pad from a place that says 03-07.. I checked tire rack for my year and they carried nothing..

Best off looking in the Brake/suspension Thread.

I believe the 06' use the same brake setup. So 06+ or 06-07 should be good. I got some Yellow Stuff High Temp pads from here...

Of course, don't forget to check out the existing break threads on what is good to buy. The Yellow stuff I got specifically for the track. I found they are definitely good for the money. I didn't want to waste any money on super nice pads because I plan on getting a BBK kit soon. Anyway, good luck.

I want something with no noise. How are those for noise control? I have had bad experience with hawk pads, axxis pads and PBR (Although axxis and PBR are supposedly the same thing..) ALL NOISY as hell

It's the noisy/squeaky ones that work well

I'm aware of that, but it's f*ckin annoying. There has to be pads out there that are good at both. OEM pads are usually the best compromise, but mine squeak already.. go figure..

Do you normally bed in your brake pads? I didn't have any squealing with either OEM or axxis pads.

I have absolutely no noise. I had no squeaking on my oem and these pads. :-D Of course, I made sure to properly bed them after I installed them. So far so good. I just installed the shims they provided and kept my oem shims with the oem pads. Because these were high temp material, I started the bedding process with 4 heavy braking from 80 mph -10 mph, then 4 60mph-10mph, then 4 40mph - 10mph. By then, my brakes were barely working, drove around for 20 min or so on the highway to let them cool then did it again the following day. They work great, no noise at all, and brake dust is about the same as oem. I had to do this late at night on the interstate so I didn't look weird. :-D

Isn't that a little excessive? If not maybe I don't put enough to it! I was always told to brake and accelerate "riding" the brakes for about 20' to burnish them in....?

I've always bedded in my brakes in other cars. But one thing to realize is that does NOT cure the squeaking problem 100%. I bought axxis semi-metallic pads for my e46 and they squeaked like a whorehouse. but I bought my car with 80miles on it so I said the hell with the bedding in procedure. My brother never bedded in his brakes per stoptechs way either, just drove it softly and nothing ever squeaked. Just a gamble I suppose.

Very true, bedding your brakes will not guarantee less noise. But it will guarantee better braking performance. Good luck on your search!
