Never heard of copper pads. Copper is soft. I doubt they would last very long. Buy some Performance Friction Carbon Metallic pads.

Any harder brake pad will "eat" rotors. Of course, they don't mean your rotors won't turn to dust in a year!

How's the ranking go, from stock -> best braking? (Also means from least -> most rotor wear.)

Organic
Semi-metallic
Metallic
Carbon Metallic

Did I leave any out?
