I have done a bunch of searching & it seems alot of you like the A/C Delco pads.I have the 12" front stock rotors & am happy with the way it stops now on 20" SS wheels.My questions is on the a/c delco pads...are the ones everybody says are so good theA/C Delco Durastop ceramic ? They are $60.13 my cost thru our local dealer .Had been looking at EBC...HAWK ...& am down to the A/C delcos or Hawk...ceramic or Lt's ?just want some good pads with low noise & not a ton of dust residue that stop good .Thanks for any help .

 

wagner thermaquiet.....never had any issues with dust or anything, also about $60-$70...

 

The durastop is an econemy pad line. The OE ACDelco pads are generaly considered a superior pad.

 

Ye the oem replacements are $115.00....so now we are in the Hawk price range with some change left over.So which Hawks ? the ceramic ,Lt's ...which is best ?The price is not a big deal just want tried & true with no issues of guess work.Thanks

 

DO NOT GET WAGNER THERMO QUIETS!!!! they are good and are infact quiet but damn do they put out some dust. i used to have them on my truck and even though they have a lifetime warranty i went back to the delco's cause they are quiet stop good and very minimal to no dust. i can got 2-3 weeks with out a wash and you can bearly tell there is brake dust on my wheels. and i drive about 300ish a week.

 

I have the Hawk Lts in the rear and Hawk Pc (performance ceramic) in the front in my 3 piston ssbc calipers and I am happy with their performance. Quiet and low dust.

 

thats a first, I've used wagner thermaquiets for a few years now, even with the endless amout of stop and goes in town, never had any issues with the dust........

 

So far the Hawks perf/ceramic are the only ones everyone agrees on with the same results in performance & dusting amount ...Thanks for all the input !So I guess nobody uses the EBC pads ?It's looking like Hawk's will be the choice ...the perf/ceramic I guess . More input if you have REAL experience with the pads please & Thanks !

 

I have used hawks LT and their ceramics, both dust like crazy but stop well.

 

Duralast are an economy pad line. Durastop is an AcDelco performance upgrade.
