Brake upgrade that doesn't break the bank?

Just for reference. I purchased my tundra used. It has some Bosch brake pads (OEM comparable) currently. They are ok. Nothing special, quiet and low dust.

I ran EBC Yellow stuff on a previous truck. First stop of the morning was a little meh, but after that the bite was very good. When they got hot, they just kept biting more and more. I was very happy with them. Only down sides were they were very dusty.

For this truck, i just purchased a set of EBC Blue Stuff pads for the front and rear. The Blues are supposed to be one step more aggressive than the yellows. I expect heavy dust with very good performance. Pricing was right around $108 for the fronts, $96 for the rears, so very reasonable. I run plain rotors (i've run slotted and drilled in the past, never found any benefit). I'm going to try first with the stock lines (only pads upgraded) and see how that feels once they are broken in, then decide from there. Cheap and easy way to start.

I'm running the EBC rotors and yellow pads. 750 for all 4 corners if I remember correctly. Bite is good.

 

Where did you find your pads at? Been looking at these EBC and trying to find who's got the best deal. Did a search but really didn't find an online store that sold just the pads. Everyone is selling them as a set with Rotors.
