x2, OEM. however if they dont seem to fit your budget, Wagner Thermoquiet. Wouldn't go for a lesser, they are your brakes.

Just curious what makes the OEM pads that much better??

I would rather replace pads every year(10,000 or less miles) and have the best stopping power I can get.

I spend way to much money at the local dealer as it is.
