Default Brake Pads and Disks

I'm getting ready to do the brakes on my 02 and was just wondering what disks and pads would be good for my truck. It's a lifted (4 inches with 34s) ECSB, I drive pretty aggressively and I don't tow. So far I have Steel Braided Lines and Tahoe/Suburban Two-Piston Rear Calipers with Proportioning Valve. My front and rear calipers are out getting powder coated to match the color of my truck so I have a couple days to decide what I want but I'd still like to order ASAP. BTW: big brakes are out of the question until I get some more money!

I just did the brakes on my 02 z71, go get Carquest Gold pads. They have three lines (quality levels) bottom = green i think, mid line = blue, and top is gold. I had been fighting a soft pedal for months, checked everything, cycled the fluid, blah blah...turns out I had SHITTY pads on there. Changed them, night and day difference. The only problem is that they are 180 for the full set (front and rear). My guy told me that they are equivalent to fleet brakes (you know, brake pads that are designed to withstand driving all day, everyday) and they are great. The rotors that I am running are SSBC's slotted, but don't get the pads from them, those were the shitty pads that caused the problem in the first place. Hope that helps. PM me if you have any questions.
