Default need great pads for 99 Seville STS

70torinocobra
I bought my wife a 1999 Cadillac Seville STS about a year ago. It only has about 50,000 miles on it. The front brakes need replacing. I'm trying to find the best pads but I'm having trouble because of the wear sensors. Does anyone know who makes a really good pad for this? Should I just go to Napa and get theirs? Thanks for your time and efforts to help a tired old gearhead fix his wifes car. Roger

Go with OEM pads. They last, they are exact and they fit the first time. Unless you & your fellow driver(s) like to make hairpin turns at every intersection then I doubt you need H.P. Brake Pads. OEM are reliable and they last, your front pads sounds like they lasted 50,000. I'm just saying......

Default thanks

Thanks for the input CadillacAttack. Thats what I did. I also put a set of the Michlin Defender tires on it. Just got home from a 4000 + mile trip and all I can say is WOW about the tires. The best I could nget out of the STS was 21 MPG. With the new tires we pulled into our driveway with 26.2 for the average. Thanks again .
