Default Best Brake Pads

What are the best brake pads for our heavy trucks from your experience . Low dust, long life and best stopping performance. I have a bear 14" brakes with ssbc rotors on the way and want to figure out what the best pads are.
Thanks
Jake

AKlowriderZ likes the pads that were made for the police tahoes, not sure how bad they dust though. Maybe he'll chime in...

Just slapped on some Hawk HPS pads a week ago. No noise and stops well, can't say anything about dust or longevity yet though.

Will that setup use stock pads, or pads from some other application?

They've been working great, no noise, and no dusting.

Pads have to be for a 300c Chrysler for some reason. Baer crap.

What year 300c, and fronts I assume? Rears should be smaller I'd think.

All I know is that you want to stay away from lifetime warranty break pads. They will destroy your rotors quickly and don't stop as well.

Wish I could add more, but it looks like you already got some
