Brake pads
Anyone with more knowledge on the subject know if I'd benefit from replacing what look like stock front brake pads, Aisin brand, with EBC semi sintered V-Pads? I've had them sitting in a box for the last couple of years - plenty of life left in the stock pads.

Sintered pads will tear up the rotors. Some people like the braking abilities but the rotors will suffer.Ed
