Make sure the pads you get have the groove in the middle. One reason for the 
groove is to eliminate brake squeel (on our cars anyway).There are others 
listed in Bentley, but that is the one true item I've found (grooved pads don't 
squeel).

>I imagine I can get the pads at any FLAPS, is that correct? 

Yes, any good FLAPS should be able to get them. Like I said before, make sure 
there is a groove though, as some pad makers don't think they need one. I 
hope this helps.
