Which NAPA pads

I need front pads for my 90 Miata. I have NAPA and Autozone in my town. Oh I did call the local dealer for OEM pads, $108!

I hate brake dust and the is a summer time DD.

Your thoughts will be welcomed.....

The ceramix pads do well. We try to use them on our user cars at work when we can.

adaptive one from Napa was what we used on customer cars at the dealership I worked at.

I used napa's good pads on my E150. Stop well, but dusty.

great pads. used em on the autoX miata i had. loved em. not only for that but every car. great stuff that ceramix pad

Adaptives for sure, we stock them at my shop, they're the ones I use when I absolutely don't want come backs. They're the Michelins of brake pads.

i work for NAPA.

any ceramic pad from the Safety Stop (mid level), through Ultra Premium(top shelf), to Adaptive Ones (problem solver, as neckromacr mentioned) should do what you want.

I ordered some PBR metal masters for my own miata. i'm happy with how they work, and they were affordable(with my discount that is), but they're dusty.

The last time around, I put Akebono ceramic mix pads on the Trooper. They live up to their advertising; the wheels are clean, there is no noise, they bite well cold or hot and so far they seem to be wearing just fine. I would probably use them for AX but since they are really a street pad I don't think I'd use them for a track day or similar. Don't know if NAPA has them, I know you can get them from Tire Rack.

I'm running some of NAPA's mid-level ceramic pads on the front of my MPV. They've been on there about 20k miles, and as far as I know, they're doing fine. I seem to recall them being made in Spain, or someplace exotic like that. I was just shocked and happy that it wasn't China.

Shoulda mentioned that... I have been using the Ultra Premium Ceramix pads.

Again though--love em

I have NAPA pads on my Miata right now but the dust is crazy. I don't remember which ones I bought. I just don't want to get them again!

if it was something that didn't need to be special ordered, the counterman probably gave you organic compound pads. the semi-metallics are almost never in stock, and the ceramics don't do that.

Cool. just to be clear, ceramics don't create a ton of brake dust?

in my experience ceramics do everything well, and priced accordingly. semi-metallics function maybe a tiny bit better, but at the cost of more dust and noise. organics are quiet, cheap, and dusty.

Great! I will get the ceramics today!!!

Well there is the rare occasion where a few cars just don't like ceramics. It's not often, but does happen.
