If I could afford a second car, I would. Living in Indiana, I need a car I can drive on pothole inundated roads and in winter. My 2010 Camaro SS sat almost an entire winter. I traded it for a BMW that I got to drive more often. BMW maintenance got me to trade it on the Buick that had full warranty.

Their answer after I told them that I would be posting the email that they sent me to various forums was a demand to send them what shrapnel was left of my old pads as well as the rotors on my dime, buy new pads at full price, and see if it happens again.

I'll pass.

EBC or Hawk for a driver IMO.

Too many options on the website. Without Brembo calipers, yes, but the MM differences get me. I have no idea what mine are.

+1 for Hawk. Low residue and better performance for the win.

Hawk needs Brembo calipers. I do not have Brembo calipers.
