I never thought I say this but,, autozone has carbon metallic performance friction pads(think that's what they are called)and they are better any of the pads I've used before,,, raybestos is a close 2nd

I always use Bendix semi-metallic's (MKD154 I think) on the front. I've only had rear discs for a year, so I can't recommend anything, except to say I have Bendix organic D-154's back there.

VGX pads, Summit sells them, and they are GOOD. I have them on my '89 GTA, and the good thing is, you can get them in a kit form to replace some of the old hardware on your calipers. Summit part numbers...
Pads only:
QLT-MF154 Front
QLT-MF413 Rear
Kit:
QLT-MF1541 Front
QLT-MF413K Rear
