Mintex. They are the cheapest of the OEM and their coefficient of friction is better than the very expensive brembos.

As long as you don't track/autocross your car, then Mintex or Textar or whatever cheap brand will serve you just fine. Pelican Parts has decent pricing (NAYY).

I paid $24 for ceramics from the above posted RockAuto clearance sale. That was for all 4 wheels.
It's a bit early, but they seems just as good or better than the stock Brembos.

Thanks Steve0x for the tip on the clearance parts... I ordered myself a bunch of stuff for my cars even though the shipping and exchange rates are crazy high - still saved money! I wanted to get rotors but the shipping was crazy high due to weight.
