    The break pads of Ford Fiesta need replacement ASAP. I check autoparts stores online, and I noticed that they sell (original equipment manufacturer?) OEM and Branded Parts. I am not really a vehicle part enthusiasts, so I am not knowledgeable about these things. I tried reading articles online, but it only confused me more because some say that OEM parts are better, while others say that branded ones are more durable. Can anyone tell me which of these two I should pick for my breakpads? Thanks a lot.
