I've used autozone duralast brake pads on my blazer without much issues.
Do or have any of you used any of the duralast brake pads

Duralast gold cmax
Maximum ceramic brake pads have a friction material that is formulated for ultra quiet stopping performance with low dust and a longer life as well as shorter stopping distances which makes Duralast gold max the brake pad of choice.

• Hardware kits included where applicable for one stop shopping with everything included in the box for a complete brake job
• Rigid steel inner shim is a fundamental part of every brake pad and when combined with the nitrite rubber shim layer the vibration and noise is *******ly eliminated
• Powder coated steel backing plate prevents corrosion and includes an acrylic adhesive layer to aid in vibration and noise suppression
• Slotted and chamfered friction blocks match the original equipment design

Duralast gold

• Premium shim design for better than OE noise dampening

I've bought house brand brake pads before; did for many years actually. I absolutely refuse to anymore. I've always had some sort of performance issue with them and refuse to risk it anymore (the things you start thinking of when you have kids).

 

I always go with the metal pads, never house brands either, more friction ='s heat which stops better I think, but has lots of brake dust. If you're not racing and don't mind dust this is your pad. Have your rotors turned too if they are not too far gone

I feel the same way when it comes to family & family members driving the car

 

any suggestions on pads?
I am driving a mix of high way and city driving with plenty of lights and stop signs.

Rotor suggestions as well?
I am not sure if the ones on here are stock but, they ARNT the basic flat rotor.

 

Pick a name brand pad. Wagner Thermoquiet pads are good.

 

ebc brake pads....

 

any name brand pad will do, as for rotors oem does the job unless you want cool looking drilled & slotted one. I've had both over the last 10 years and went back to oem's as they seem to stay true longer then drilled & slotted units.

 

so dont go with duralast brand of brakes correct?

What are the oem rotors?

 

Dodge/Mopar. I wouldn't necessarily spend the money on those (and I won't; I need new rotors this next pad change), but again, a non-economy one. I guess I shouldn't have just said name brand; they all have crap economy lines. Get a mid-grade part and you'll be good. Whenever I go in for parts, I tell them I don't need the top of the line, but I don't want economy either. Works well. You'll be looking for something like Raybestos Professional Grade. Heck, RockAuto has Raybestos' Premium rotors for $35 each. I might just get those. They also have Powerstop rotors for $47 each.

 

ok thanks I get a discount at a local auto store Levins so I may go there.
