Need advice on brake pads, and rotors

I need to get my brakes pads, and rotors changed soon. Any advice on which brands are reliable, and that I should get? (on a slight budget) . THX!

Always been a fan of Akebono Euro ceramic pads for good bite (for ceramic) and low dust.

No reason to explore further. SEARCH this forum for Akebono and read all the great reviews!

As always, it depends on what's more/most important to you. Akebono's are def the way to go for stock/stock+ level of stopping power with no dust. I switched over to them on our SUV and love 'em. For the C, though, I use EBC Yellows, which bite very well, but are horrible wrt dust. They cost more, too. Rotors, just stick with stock.

Akebono is the way to go for pads.
