Brakes

[fatluke]

OK. The time has come to replace the brakes on my 02 silverado. I am just looking for what type of replacements people are using or recommending. I believe what I have now is stock and the brake dust is unbearable. The rotors also seem to be warped beyond belief. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Looking for pads with least amount of dust possible. Thanks in advance.

Many guys recommend the Power Slot rotors and Hawk pads on the NBS trucks.

 

I'm on my 2nd set of pads and original rotors on my 2000 GMC with 145K on the clock.

 

I use the Raybestos Quiet Stop pads.

Low dust and most importantly, no squealing!

Any other suggestions/recommendations?

Praise Dyno Cryo treated

Raybestos ceramic w/PDS rotors

Wagner THermocool ceramic

Napa Ceramic

 

Those are my favorites in that order. I also like Hawk but they dust too much IMO. Don't go cheap on the rotors.

 

I really like the Praise setup as they give significantly better braking but they can be a little pricey.

I'm sure the praise would be even morepricy for me as I live in Canada and anything good usually has to come from the US. :-)

Anyone else have comments on the the AC Delco Durastop Performance rotors & Ceramic pads?????? I'm sure these would be easy enough to acquire in Canada.

If your pads are throwing dust more than likely those are aftermarket pads. I recommend the factory pads - I got more than 150,000 miles of the original set. When I sold the truck, the guy who bought it (one of my subcontractors) told me that his brake guy told him to come back in another 50,000. And that's on the original unturned rotors.

 

I highly recommend anything that lasts like that - factory pads all the way!

But you need CERAMIC or you'll get dust.

My stock pads were ceramic...just not good enough at braking

I would go with the power slots and hawk. Give summit racing a call. 1-800-230-3030 or try there web site summitracing.com. They have the best pric i have found.

I just replaced pads, rotors, drums and shoes on my 99 Suburban with parts from Autozone (Duralast). Everything fit well, and the big truck stops just fine. We'll have to wait and see how bad the dust is...
