I'm trying to compare the OEM pads to other aftermarket choices, but can't find much information on the material used. Was wondering if anyone might know exactly. I'm getting replacements soon and want to know how much I need to budget. I realize the trade-off between performance versus how much friction the pads are generating against the brake disc, and would prefer to spend a bit less than what I'm seeing listed for OEMs. It's also possible that the front pads are different in composition from the back. Partzilla has photos of the packaging, listed below. They appear to use different backplates, not sure if that affects the material.
Front Pads
Rear Pads
I've read others here using performance pads (HH style) on the front with no accelerated rotor thinning, also mentioning a softer rear brake disc that might only do well with organic pads. I'm probably overthinking this, but it is technically interesting.
