brakes

What are really good front brake pads. I want ones that dont heat up on a 60-30mph slow down then I smell brakes for the next 3 minutes and have less brake power. I want some that I actually feel save pressing down. My last pads were amazing. No name on them.

I bought the cheapest first pair I could find because they started grinding, so i drive right to a auto store and did my brakes that night.

Anyone have any good pads I dont want an upgrade I just want nicer pads.

Thanks.

Are there any better pads? Ive leanred not all pads are created equal and I just dont think you really know what your getting untill you put them on and try them.

The oem pads are about 50$ but they have others for 75-85$ that arent that brand.
