Amazon.com currently has a number of Monroe brake pads that are available free after a $20 Monroe mail-in-rebate, as well as some that are less than $10 after the rebate. Please keep in mind that only one rebate is valid per household.
Feel free to search Amazon.com for your specific car using Amazon.com's vehicle lookup here or using the tool on Monroe's Web site here. The rebate form may be downloaded from here.
Additional note: It seems as if a lot of people are asking about the differences between the Ceramic and Dynamic pads, so I did a bit of research to help others out. You can read the research I found here. I hope this helps.
Thanks for pointing out the rebate limitation. I'll be sure to update the initial post right away.
On a side note, I cannot urge people to jump in on this deal quickly enough (I even added "Hurry!" to the title of this thread). This thread is very green now, but if past experiences show me something, it's that once the deal dies (soon), the red will be coming.

Go to the monroe website (see link in OP) and search for your make and model. The highlighted ones in the results are the recommended ones for your car/van/truck.

The rebate is good for purchases until oct 31st and submissions have until dec 1st to be postmarked. I dont think there will be a problem if they sell out on Amazon.....i mean mine are almost gone but i need to go home and see which i will probably need next. Backorder is cool with me so I wont give you red.
Thanks griffeycom . What is the difference between CX and DX pads? griffeycom said: ampicillinct said: Did not find the rear pads for my honda civic Are you sure Amazon is selling rear pads as well?

Civics have Drum/shoes on the rear...not pads.
CX = Ceramic, DX = Standard. Though personally I would use OEM Honda parts, they are similar prices than the Ceramic pads and leave much less dust than these Monroe pads will leave. Though you are getting a deal with this MIR, so go Ceramic if you aren't going to get OEM Honda parts!

Piece of cake....takes me about 40 min. to change the front pads on my Toyota...especially easy at the base hobby shop where lifts are available and lots of air tools for just a small hourly fee.
Changing pads is easy. Just don't let the caliper hang from the brake line. Drums are a little harder your first time.

As with the purolators, the pads for my 99 Camry are more expensive. If I would be able to buy the pads for less than $20, do you think they'll honor the rebate?
got mine ... 34.xx for front and 36.xx for rear ... only one left with Amazon for rear and 4 left for front (lexus es300 1999). now gotta search whose address I can give for second rebate !

How difficult is it to replace brake pads by yourself? TIA
