Brakes! Reccomendations..
So... had the truck on the rack today, and noticed my rear rotors are pitted...which I have never seen, and my front ones were somewhat warped from being raped with heat. Truck has 65K Miles and OEM brakes, I was hoping they would last longer, but the pads produce a nasty red dust anyways, and my black XD wheels hate that ****. So.. with all that said, I am looking at some ideas on rotors and pads (front & rear)
I looked on eBay, there are a million brands and types....zinc coated, black zinc coated.. slotted/ cross drilled/ slotted and cross drilled/ normal rotors ect. I am not wanting to spend a ton, but have a feeling it is inevitable at this point..I would also like to do a fluid flush while I am replacing the pads as mine looks gross.. .pointers?
Autozone has a million types of rotors as well, alot of them looking the same, but various brands and prices.. all claiming to better than the other guy. I know I want ceramic pads to avoid the dusting, but pad recommendations is asked as well..
The truck is lifted 3" with 20" wheels and 34" Nitto Terras that are 12.5" wide.. so alot of wheel and tire there..
Thanks in advance.

I put axe bono ceramic pads on all 4. From CarQuest they are good not much dust and I put power stop zinc plated slotted n drilled rotors on all 4. About 20,000 miles on them and they do great with my 35s my rims are pretty heavy too. I don't remember prices though sorry. Gl

My pads are crazy dusty and I hate it on my 20's. when I change them I'm gonna do EBC yellow stuff pads. And some good rotors since I'm going to 35's. ill defiantly follow and see what you go with and what happens.

I went with duralast rotors 33.99 each + duralast gold pads 35.99/pair. They're are semi metallic so they don't make a lot of dust - wont wear quick or warp your rotor.
