Thanks for the recommendation, Daniel R, I've heard the name before, so I'll have to look into them. Thankfully a pad change isn't in the too near future. As I found out just yesterday evening, the brakes that the car comes with are damn good. I had someone stop short at a red light for some inexplicable reason, causing the person in between us to jam on their brakes with maybe 15-20ft between us, if that. Coasting to a stop at ~20mph suddenly felt very fast, but I managed to keep the Boxster's nose out of the rear of a Corolla with a good foot stomp, and stopped way shorter than I expected to. Had I been in my own Corolla that might have been a very different situation.
