what are the best brake pads (front) for a 97 Max in the areas of price, quality, dusting, etc? (normal driving city, some highway)

i dont know how many times this has BEEN DISCUSSED on the org ..... oem pads and brembo blanks are the best combo ... aftermarket pads make noise, make dust, and create brake fade

Axxis Ultimates are the best pads I've ever put on my Max and I've tried a lot of different ones. Great bite, great pedal feel, shorter braking distances, no squeal......dusts like any other pad but the dust cleans off w/o too much elbow grease. I highly recommend them!

Wagner Thermal Quiet Ceramics

Almost no brake dust, quiet, descent initial bite (cold) and no fade under hard braking.
Best pad I've yet to run, plus they come with a lifetime warranty.
