Default Got to change my brakes. where should i go for my parts

Its time to change my brakes. Ive never had to change them on this truck before and would like to change the pads rotors drums and shoes. But i am not sure what brand to get and where to go for them, What brands to stay away from etc.. Im Not looking to drop a fortune on this. If i could do it all for 200 thatd be great. Thanks for the help.

I've had good luck with NAPA. I've use the TruStop (I think that's what the call it) pads and shoes. They're not ceramic or anything fancy, but they work for me and aren't that pricey.

i've always used autozone's cheapest lifetime warranty pads and shoes. on some of my longer kept vehicles i've gotten free replacements one or two or even three times. i've never found lifetime warranties on rotors or drums.

rockauto has some of the best prices, also check amazon.
