    For a runaround car, any brake pad will do. Cheap Ferrodos or Burson/Repco brand pads will get you out of trouble. Maxistops are also cheap.

    I personally use Burson brand pads in my slow HQ Kingswood, and they do the trick.

    these pads are semi mertalic i have used them before they give grate pedal feal and work well but if you are hard on the brakes they can be a bit dusty but for that price they are the one i would get.

    The RDA pads are good, I use RDA exclusively with all the rotors I sell. I can do the same pad as the first link for $65 posted for all four.
