Default Brake Components Advice

Hey All, I am shopping for rotors and pads for my 2004 Lariat and just wanted to ask for some advice. I am pretty much set on getting the Centric premium rotors due to price and quality. (i have them on my wife's acura TL for over a year and so far no issues). I am not sure on which pads will work good with these. Should I go with Centric pads or buy something like the Hawks? I just baught Hawk LTS pads, but cheaped out on the rotors by keeping the old ones. Now I get a crazy vibration and
squealing noise. It sucks, but I now have to scrap the 2 weeks old hawks.

EBC and Hawk good combo...back in the day when pads were made of asbestos you could get away with swapping just the pads...now days pads are metal and punish or rotors so it is good to do both at the same time...unless you change early.
