I use the Quiet Stop from Raybestos I got from Pep Boys where I work...they are extremely easy to install and are very clean compared to the stock pads and have not peeped once...I will only use these as long as I run stock rotors.

Make certain you use caliper lube on the caliper pins and disc brake quiet on the back of each pad where the piston or caliper frame contacts...good thing is the Quiet Stops I have all came with everything I needed...if you cannot get them... let me know and I will get you some.

I'm not too sure about that.

4th gen
OEM fronts - $56
OEM rears - $42
From www.eatricezone.com
Axxis Metal Masters, front - $47
Axxis Metal Masters, Rear - $38
So you could actually save money by going with an aftermarket pad. I have the Axxis MMs and I love them, and so do many other members.
Also, one big note - The rear calipers don't compress normally, they need to be rotated in. Took me about an hour until I realize

As you can see the rear piston has four groves. You can use pliers, but I ended up just buying the tool for it at pep boys for $10. It made it 100X easier.
