im planning to buy new brake pads for my mitsubishi lancer, which is a moderate sedan. i want to keep the factory rotors and calipers, so i was wondering what brake pads would be best to use for a daily driver not going on the track what so ever. semi metallic, organic, or ceramic? thanks.

Take it from a technician that uses cheap junk yard parts on his vehicle. Any decent brake pad will stop your vehicle but the number one concern after brake jobs is noise. Noise is typically caused by vibration. I always suggest using factory Brake Pads from the dealer. As for semi metallic, organic or ceramic…..your dealer will have the right pads for your vehicle.
