I went to Hawk Ceramic pads and replaced my rear rotors here recently. The Hawks I feel are a good improvement and reduce the brake dust which is mainly what I wanted. They are however a little noisy in slow parking lot situations, kind of annoying but there is a trade off to everything.

I hate ceramic pads. Even with proper break-in they still make crunchy sounds until they are heated up.
OEM are good parts. Generally when I do breaks I go with the cheapest I can find. You can pay twice as much for parts that will only last a little longer than the cheapest stuff.
Now, that is for my normal driving vehicle. If you are talking about heavy duty, or racing setups, etc, then things get more complicated. But for a truck with normal duty or uses then it really doesn't mater what you get.

I am already getting some wobble from my front rotors when I step on the brakes, so I am thinking I may just go to the two piece set-up this time for my 2wd...I would love to be able to put the brakemotive kit on, but have been hesitant due to the pressed in bearing of the 2wd set up. I thought that I saw a post here recently (that I think I responded to as a matter of fact) which had the centric part numbers from rockauto for changing out the font rotors to the two piece design, but I have lost the thread...
It was an easy install then, no major hassles? Any particular suggestions? Ceramic or semi-metallic pads?
