I have another post requesting web sources for Raybestos Quiet Stop Pads. I know I can buy them over the counter at Pep Boys. This comprehensive test of brake pads convinced me they are the best.

Here is the report from the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center who tested lots of pads on Police Vehicles in Adobe Acrobat Format:
