best brake pads for my 03 max

I cannot find any topics on brake pads...and I was wondering what the best front and rear pads are and where I could find them online.

thanks

The best pads i found were the ones that suited my style of driving the most - i've read up on almost every thread about pads but the best one that i thought would suite my style of driving was the Metal Masters.

However, with mostly highway driving now and the cold weather i'm starting to review my selection. MM's are good for constant stop and go driving where it gets a chance to warm up and show where it excels in fade resistance - highway driving doesn't give it the opportunity to work as designed.

That said, tell us what your driving style is and people will give suggestions. Just be sure that it works for you.

well i drive mostly everything...city/combo highway...

id say im spirited while driving around however I am only spirited with the throttle...i actually just beat the hell out of my tires by taking quick turns vs. actually using the brakes...i also downshift to assist the brakes. But lets say I just want the best all around brake pad set...I am getting my own truck for work so I will only be driving the max when I go out if ever. Let me know whats the best all around pad...looked at EBC greenstuff and wished they made the red stuff brake pads for my vehicle.
