Thumbs up Brake pads

Are there better brake pads, Or better recommendations. I think I'm starting to hear my brakes squeeking a little, Is there a better way to tell if I should swap them out?

^Racing pads are great if you don't mind cleaning brake dust every week if you daily drive it.

Carbotechs are also a really great pad. The "bobcats" are ideal for street and mild auto-x use.

It's really easy to change the front pads can be done in half an hour.

PM me I'll walk you through it

Can you get them in just fronts, Or should all be replaced at the same time? I would think fronts wear much faster than rears or am I wrong?
