Another problem is that when i brake now... i hear this nasty grinding sound in the back of my car... which i'm assuming is that my pads are really thin and scraping my rotors... I looked at potterman and saw the pad you are talking about which are about $70 without tax and shipping... which are the front pads that i need... potterman has alot of different mintex red pads...

Yeah that's what i was thinking... the person at the shop told me i needed everything changed... they were gonna charge me $420 for rears and fronts... plus the resurfacing of the rotors... what a rip... i'm gonna change the rears for now... which is $188... o well... thanks for all the info... i'm gonna buy stuff from potterman next time and have someone install it...
