[Shotimes] Brake Pads

[Donald Mallinson]

Try Akebono Ceramic pads.  Highly recommended by a local shop that 
services mostly German and Italian cars.  Even for track days.

Not to be confused with any "performance" ceramic pads out there, these were generic pads (PepBoys) that my wife HAD to have, some bozo convinced her that they were quetier, cleaner, and "better braking" (as if she's EVER cleaned a wheel in her life). I guess two out of three ain't bad, but when the van felt like it had good brakes before, now it's a bit scary in sudden stops.
