My daughter's 2000 Alero is in need of brake attention. There seems to be a bewildering array of pads available for this car. Organic. Ceramic. OEM. And on and on.
What type and brand pads would you recommend for this machine?
Is there a particular rotor manufacturer that you are fond of?
I've used strickly GM pads on my car. I get about 40,000 miles out of the fronts pads. Rear Drum brakes last
125,000 miles.Not sure of other brands of rotors.

Rotors are throwaways now-a-days. They are made a cheaply and thinly as possible. Pads: I like semi-metal or ceramic. Stay away from organic.
I've been pleased with the Raybestos Quiet Stop pads. FWIW YMMV DFB

I really like the Raybestos Quiet Stop pads I installed on our 2002 Olds Silhoette.
Raybestos or Wagner are safe choices.
