Kahn,

DO NOT use your original pads, even though they look like they still have lots of material. My original pads had so much material left that they looked like they had never been used; and that was after 90,000 miles! But, they didn't stop worth a damn, especially when cold! I almost wrecked my car early one morning because someone changed lanes in front of me on the expressway then slammed on their brakes for a yellow light. I stood on my brakes as hard as I could and was certain the front of my car was going to get crunched. I must have stopped less than an inch from his bumper because it looked like I should have hit him.

Get the Porterfield pads (4RS) and know your car will stop with confidence - it's a safety thing! Besides, the idiot light on the dash also doubles as the fan-on indicator for your heater/AC, so it's still usable for that function.
