Default brake performance package

those of you who went with the dimpled and slotted package with pads, which pads did you choose.

if anyone has chosen the ebc brakes dimpled and slotted with the green stuff what is your opinion?

is it me or do these rotors look very similiar?

about time for new pads. not too bad at just under 60K
Same here on the premium semi-metallic. The guys I talked to at brakeperformance actually recommended against the ceramic pads for our trucks.

Id stick with semi-metallic. A brush does just fine on the brake dust.

Ive heard very good things about EBC Green stuff pads. I would never buy the EBC rotors though, way too expensive. Alot of people are happy with EBC Green stuff and stock rotors on other cars and trucks.

Premium semi-metallic pads with the dimpled and slotted rotors here. When needed the front end bows down and stops the truck hard.

HAWK pads were recomended when I ordered my EBC rotors and pads. I have had them on for a few months and am unimpressed. I'll be switching to EBD pads in the near future.
