Default Front Brake Pads - OEM or Advanced Auto/Autozone?
I'm to the point of needing to replace the front pads on my 06' s2000 and I am wondering which ones you guys have had the best experiences with?

I know most people recommend OEM, but these OEM replacements have always worked great on my other cars from autozone, etc.

I don't track the car at all, so just as long as I stop then I'm good

Any recommendations?

You want low noise and no low rotor damage, stick with OEM
