Front brake pads $69 good deal?

Hi, folks,
I got this deal email from Pepe Imfiniti, offering some deals.

One of them is this front brake pads for $69, I wonder if it is a good deal.

My car currently has 33,000 miles, I think I might prepare to replace brake pads.

So if it is a good deal, I'd like to buy them in right now.

Have you bought any brake pads lately, what do you think?

Here is their link:

I'd go with some thing better, like Akebono ProACT pads for about the same price (if not cheaper). You can find those on Amazon. Of course you can get more performance oriented pads like Hawks, or ProjectMU, etc.

I didn't like the OEM pads when I had the car. It caused vibration every 10k-15k miles which required a rotor turn ( I know peopel don't recommend turning rotors lol). I ended up replacing the rotors with OEM ones and the Akebonos. No vibration whatsoever after 20K miles when I sold my car.

Got my F&R Stoptech pads from Rockauto.com for around $100.

OP, I'd just get the complete set at the same time, and Stoptechs are nice improvement over OEMs for sure.

I bought some cheap pep boy tires once and if you have a heavy foot it's a big mistake. You lose alot of braking power using cheap pads.
