Looking to go somewhat cheap here--this car is going a timid teen driver who likely won't have a license for another year, and even then it won't get much more than backroads driving for a few years, at a few thousand miles per year. By the time he's in college it well may be worn out (or wrecked). And... they're brake pads, not that hard to change.
When I looked the rotors looked ok but the shop says it needs new pads, ergo just want to do a pad slap (unless if I get unlucky and it needs calipers too). Again, rear pads, not fronts.
I see on Amazon Wagner ZD536 Ceramic for $18.80, Wagner QC536 for $22.64, Bosch BE536 for $22.34 and then it goes up in price into the $30 range. All seem to be ceramic?
I will admit it might be nice to have low dust pads, this does have alloys and maybe it'd be nice to not have brake dust. Then again, it's no looker, dirty rims are the least of its worries.
