Got a dash light this morning on my way home. Was all kinds of worried, then checked the manual:
First time a car has ever let me know I need brake pads, awesome. Any suggestions on brand/material for a daily driver?

Well....many will mention brands. I will leave that to them. I will say to get ceramics though. Additionally, you will need brake pad wear sensors now, since you let the sensor do its job.

Welcome back Tampa! Good to see your name up there. I got Akebono Euro Ceramics. Im happy with them, and rims need washing monthly, not weekly/daily!

For daily driving, OE works great. If you think you might do a HPDE, I really like the Performance Friction Z-Rated. They aren't an all out track pad but they do very well on street and track without a ridiculous amount of dusting (like the Hawk HP+).

Cool, thanks guys. Are the sensors hard to change?
Big Earner
The sensor is a simple unplug, remove wire, plug in, run wire job. No big deal.

Cool, thanks! Will be doing this soon, I'll let you guys know what I get for pads.

If I were going to be a little closer to you while I'm in Florida next week, I'd help you out.
