At 45K miles the rear brakes are shot....plenty of meat on the front pads!!

Went over to Rockauto.com and there are so many choices it's crazy.....anyone have any recommendations?

It's a T5 AWD V50

Just looking for OEM type pads with similar wear and stopping power/feel

Thanks in advance!

Well if you are looking for OEM type pads...just get OEM pads.

I like PBR padsipdusa.com sells them, but there are other good brands out there like: Mintex, Axxis, Ferodo, Hawk...ect.

Thanks, does anyone have experience with the PBR organic pads on the rear of a V50? I like the idea of less brake dust. Also curious why they don't list front pads for this car of the same type?

I don't have a V50 but I love my pads (front and rear). Could bethat they are justout of stock.

Good luck.
