What pads?

Went to the dealer for a free oil change today and was told i need new brakes... Tho i knew i needed new brakes i didnt know it was so bad. The pads seem to be like gone, and the rotors have slight lines around them, not deep so i dont think they need to be replaced.. Question is where can i locally buy some nice sport pads like axxis ultiamte or Raybestos quietstop, or do i need to order them online.... I just need to know as i need to change my brakes soon and am going to the track wed. so i need new brakes today or tommorow. Thanks in advance and any recommendations would also be appreciated.

After taking off my wheels and taking a better look it seems my pads are not THAT bad... not even to the noise making thingy... but my rotors are pretty bad... Where can i get some nice new front rotors at lowest price? Brembo blanks best?

definitely get brembo blanks...these are GOOD, CHEAP rotors .. I have them and love them ... zinc plated for rust too .....get the OEM pads....ive tried other pads and trust me... when it comes to dust, and noise...the oem pads are the best....and they stop just about as good as my old garbage axxis ultimate pads which dusted and made a sick amount of noise .... you can find the brembo blanks in the group deal forum.....

ALSO: dont go to the track if you have BAD brakes!!!...are u nutz?

Yes. Raybestos Quiet Stop Ceramics are really good brakes. I had them on my Camry. Hardly any dust and no noise. And last a good while.

After two days, I'm very happy with the Greenstuffs. They stop better in every way than the Performance Friction Carbon Metallics I used to run.

They're even green
