Im running a new pad that RAybestos just came out with. It called EHT (extreme hybrid tochnology) It is a mesh of ceramic and mettalic pad. huge differece in stopping power over the stock pad with minimal dust. Just another option for you. Raybestos build quality is pretty good to!

I'll check em out. I also came across this site;


http://brakeperformance.com/brake-ro...ake-Rotors.php


They have a lifetime warranty on all of their pads and rotors. May have to check them out as well...

Rich quoted me $500, and that was with being a repeat customer....dang. But mine is 2wd, so the racers and studs would already be pressed in.

Wagner centric's/thermo's have always been good to me. IMO they make great pads.

That's a sweet deal, the thermos were good but didn't last as long for me, the. Centric's are what I currently run. But like I said before they are both really good pads just depends on your style of driving.

I replaced mine with Hawk ceramic pads all around and did not experience this. Very linear braking and very good performance when towing heavy trailers. I also installed Raybestos quiet rotors with the black coating in the center. Couldn't be happier. Brakes are very smooth and powerful.

Forgot to update this. I ended up getting the Wagner ceramics. Very very pleased with them and the dust is almost nonexistent.
