How do I know when it's time to get new brake pads?

Hiya there, Unless you are taking your Z to the race-track... Just buy the replacement OEM pads from the dealer. They're quiet and stop great when cold.

+1. For the "light" DDing you describe, stock OEM pads work very well. If you have no complaints with the factory pads, why upgrade? Ofc, if you can get a good deal on some "better" (there's nearly always some tradeoff; more dust, poor cold performance, expense, &c so better is in the eye of the beholder) pads, why not?
