Just seems odd that changing pads won't do anything to improve braking performance, that's all. Reading through the pad ratings and descriptions on Tirerack would lead a person to believe otherwise, for example: "Hawk Performance HPS pads offer 20-40% more stopping power and higher resistance to brake fade than most Original Equipment or standard replacement pads."
If there's no difference, then it sounds like a person would be a fool to buy anything but the cheapest OEM replacement pads.
