    After reading various threads and the current 25% sale, I'm going with OE rotors and Hawk LTS pads

    Recently pad slapped some EBC Blues front and rear to replace the Bosch pads someone installed before i bought the truck. I ran yellows on a past truck and really liked them. Waiting to see if the blues are better or if i should have stuck with yellows again... The bite is great and only gets better the hotter they get.

    As noted above though, there are always trade offs though. Much more dust and the blues are bit noisy occasionally right now. The yellows were never noisy but were just as dusty. I can deal with the dust, not a fan of the noise though. They do work great though!
