Re: Brake pads
So the brake pad indicator came on in my car. I have about 75,000 miles. I should probably just change all of the pads at this point correct. I see the Hawk HPS for $110 front fitment and $56 rear fitment. Is this a decent price?

the wear indicator is only on the front, rears need visual inspection
you'll also want to check your rotors' thickness to see if they need replacing also. those prices seem good, but I think HPS's are overkill for the rears. I'd go with something cheaper like Mintex red box (though I know others here will disagree)

Xctly. Here are my rears (Hawk HPS) that haven't been cleaned in 4 weeks. Dirty but acceptable
