Ok i was told that i need break pads, so instead of taking my car to the
dealer (whom i dont really trust, and in an effort to save money) I am
taking my car to a loacl grage next thursday to get this work done. Do i
need to have them use any specific break pad type? I dont think that they
work on many newer accents, but they are good.

Ummm, that would be "brakes". Any mechanic will be able to get
replacement pads. Unless you're looking for higher performance pads, you
don't need to specify anything.

       One thing concerns ME about cheaper after-market brake pads;
the dust. Some of those 'PepBoy's specials' really get the wheels
looking scuzzy. And they may imitate a stuck pig!

       Just my .02 - you may not even wash your ride.       =;-)

Make sure they are Hyundai authorized brakes or they will void your
warranty for using "aftermarket" products should a problem arise down the
road.  The dealership MUST supply you with the neccessary brakes under the
"Magnuson-Moss Act of 1982"

You're misreading the law. You can use any aftermarket product that
meets factory specs and your warranty will remain in effect. If the
manufacturer REQUIRES you to use ONLY factory parts, they must provide
them to you free of cost.
