Welcome to our forum.

Rotex Gold pads are the way to go. As ACRISPY1 stated, I too rode back 240 miles from the Chrysler nationals and the rims were still very clean.

If you replace the pads, have the rotors resurfaced (cut) at the same time. This will eliminate any squeaking, premature pad wear and possible pulsations. As a former auto repair shop owner, I found that this was the only proper way of replacing brake pads with no complaints from customers along with longer pad life.
