Default Ok, which set for rear brake pads. I'm lost.

I've used search and there are many out there I saw but, I couldn't figure out a set to buy. I need rear ones. So I'm hoping someone will just tell me what pair to buy. I read the blue Hawks (something like that) were really good but they tear up your rotors and are loud. I'm never at the track with my car, but I definitely want good stopping power. I wouldn't want the sound. So someone pleaseeeee tell me which ones to buy. Ha. Also, are they as expensive as I'm seeing them?

Im running PBR Metal Masters all around on my 924s and they work pretty well, they're decent when cold and get good when they get some heat in them (auto-x, a good hard stop). They don't destroy the rotors either. Ive been very very happy with them.

Ok cool. Thank you for the response.

I've looked and online and their only forty bucks. From the last ones I saw they were much more expensive. So is this right, or am I crazy? Ha.

Ok so I figured it out.

Now, only my rear brake pads are bad. So I'm thinking ok just replace the rears. Though I'm not sure what the fronts are. So I'm worried if I have a stronger pair on the rear than what's on the front. It might effect something badly. Should I be worried and replace all four? Or would it not make a difference?

Thanks for any help guys. I appreciate it.

Id replace all four with the same pad, or get a less aggressive pad for the rear.
