Default Brake Pad ?

I have been reading reviews on all sorts of brake pads. I was just wondering which brand yall have experienced and which one yall think were the best. I talked to my local mechanic and he recommended Wargner ThermoQuiet. Anyones opinion or review from personal use would be greatly appreciated. I have an 04 ram 1500 hemi 4dr 4x4

i installed drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads from brakemotive (sponser on our site), it was like $200 bucks for everything, which is a ridiculous deal. Quality seemed good out of the box, I am very happy so far. I've only got maybe 1000 miles on them so far, so can't speak to longevity, but so far I like them a lot. If you are interested in that kit, contact them through the forum, they have good customer service and will send you a direct checkout link.

I also just put the brakemotive rotors / pad kit on and it has been great so far, about 400 miles on them.

I went with Brakemotive, too. I think their pads are Kinetic brand or something like that. Interestingly, I bought them before becoming a member here.

I've only got maybe 1000 miles on them so far, but I definitely think they're working pretty well.

I agree that the Brakemotive kit is a great price, I think their pads are mediocre. They glaze over pretty easy when running them hard.

Wagner Thermo-Quiets are top notch!

I'm buying Brakemotives rotors and thermo-quiets for my Lesabre. Great combo right there!!

I like Hawk HPS or HP+ Pads... they've never failed me on any of the vehicles I've owned.
