Default Brake Pad recommendations, anyone?

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.
