What performance brakes do you use?

[nitrofan1]

It's getting close to brake pad time (next 2 months). I have always used OE or Bendix and now the Bendix pads are wearing thin. I would love to use EBC red stuff but the cost is prohibitive. Hawk looks good but haven't heard much about them. We sell Wagner Thermo Quiets and they are great but I'm looking for better than that.

I'm wanting to overcome the single pot calipers I have now, someday upgrading when funds become available. Don't bother posting about economy pads, AZ duralast pads etc... I've been in the parts business way too long and know what is good and what isn't but am looking for people that have used the high end lines and see what they recommend.

Thanks for the replies!!

I use AZ duralast rotors and duralast gold pads. I have no experience with high end shit on my truck but I put a set of EBC rotors on my buddys Ram 2500. They stop considerably better than it did with the OEM rotors. I believe there's some guys on RF that run EBC rotors.

I use performance friction carbon metallic pads,much better stopping power than semi metallic or ceramic. Got them at oreileys

I have hawk performance street pads on my truck, but I cant really compare to stock as I switched to them at the same time i swapped to cobra brakes on all 4 corners. but with the 13in front rotors and 12in rear rotors it really stops better.
