I have raybestos disc's so far No problems. I used Wagner thermo quiets and has some issues with them clunking against my disc because of sloppy hardware. The shop that found the issue recommended nappa ss series pads and that they haven't had good luck with the Wagner's lately. I we and got them trew on with the shops advice and so far No issues no squeaking no clunking good brakeing so far happy.

They seem expensive for pads, mine are OE with 65k miles on them and are starting to squeek. I want a good pad that is reliable.

Powerstop.

Powerstop sounds like a walmart brand.

Also want drill and scored rotors. Rotors seem like there in good shape but might aswell while everything is apart.

On another forum I'm a member of, they say the 7000 series Green pads from EBC are way better for our trucks than the 6000 series. Some guys install the 7000 series on the front and the 6000 series on the back.

One thing I've read pretty consistently about the EBC brakes is that they perform really well, but don't last as long as other brands. I've read good things about the Raybestos high-end pads, and will probably be selecting those when it comes time for mine.

Would you do EBC or Raybestos.
Also would you trust those rotors? Never heard of the brand... and also didn't realize there is a different p# for L R

Drilled/Slotted rotors are a waste of time and money. No benefit in normal operation, and much more likely to crack.
