Just bought some organic pads at the local O'Reilly Auto Parts. $9.99 for the set.

Default I'm installing Axxis PBR MetalMaster pads front and rear this weekend...

I researched and found good comments online. MetalMasters are semimetallic and midway between organic and ceramic pads dustwise and performancewise. I'm eager wo see how they work out.

Default Metalmasters are good pads.

I've used them, my main beef was their cold-weather performance. At sub-zero temperatures they were lacking in grip. They are also a pad that chews up the rotor a bit more then say the PBR organics do.

I've started using PBR Ceramic, they sometimes let off a squeal but other then that I am satisfied with the grip in all weather and low dusting.

PBR - good. GreenStuff - sucks.

Default What's the point of using high performance pads on one of these old tubs?

I use organic pads on the rear for DDs all the time. Less dust and fine performance for commuting and driving to the store. It's not like the rear brakes do that much work for everyday driving.
