Brake pads
Either OEM or EBC pads are good choices. They are available everywhere.

I got stock replacements from Smith Brothers. Quick and inexpensive...plus they give a discount to board members. As for Sam.

I'll have to 3rd the vote on the EBC HH pads, once they get seated, they're great.

Brake pads
I read somewhere awhile ago that it would be the best to stay with the stock pads for noise wear etc. Can't remember where I read it but I'll stay with the OEM pads when it's time.
The price for aftermarket vs. OEM isn't that much of a difference if I'm not mistaken. |

I tried a set of the thin looking EBC pads on the rear once and they made like a "hissing" sound every time I applied the brake. Went back to the thicker OEM type after that and solved the hissing noise.
