Brake Pads, which one?

I need to get my brake pads replace soon. Do you think I should go with the OME ones or get them from some auto parts store for $20? the OME ones are around $50 and are they about the same? or are the OEM ones are better?

go and find some nisson (sp?) brand pads. they're the same as OEM, but cheaper. nisson actually makes the OEM pads, so...they should be the same, but cheaper.

AEM/Nissin pads are nice. Better than stock, a little cheaper too. Get them at optauto.com They bite hard whe nthey warmed up, but they're slightly softer than stock whem they're cold.

It depends on what you are looking for in a pad.
open track/Autocross: EBC greenstuff or Redstuff (Redstuff lasts longer but needs to warm up to work at its potential. Greenstuff has a much higher friction rating but will fade sooner then Redstuff). or Hawk HP Plus Sport/Track pads.

Sport: Hawk Performance HPS Road/Sport or EBC Greenstuff

normal: pretty much any Ceramic brake pad like AEM or stock ect.....

THis is coming from the Tire Rack.
My next pads are going to be EBC Greenstuff As I autocross.
