Cool Front and Rear Brake Suggestions?

i constantly have brake shuddering even after replacing front and rear brakes completely. i did shoes, drums, rotors, and pads. two weeks later it starts shuttering again.

Any suggestions for new pads/rotors or shoes/drums?
(maybe slotted)

search for the rear brake shudder on these trucks. It is widely known and many have the problem. There is a TSB regarding this where they replace rear axle shafts to solve the problem.

Yeah, I have some brake shudder .... I just live with it. People have spent hundreds of dollars chasing the cause.

As for brakes, my next set is going to be oem style rotors with EBC green stuff pads. From the reviews, they are supposed to be the cat's meow. And with the dimpled and slotted, it would be over kill for me. I dont tow and I dont ride my brakes so the regular rotors do just fine. No since in risking cracking a rotor just because I wanted the cool looks.

I think I'm going to try carbon metallic brake pads this next around.
