Default What kind of brakes and rotors do you use?

Title says it all! What kind of brakes and rotors do you use or prefer?

I prefer Centric brand for brakes and rotors. Its my first time using them, they came highly recommended and so far my truck can stop on a dime!

Rotors are ACDelco and the pads are Wagner. The pads are quiet and extreamly low dust and I didn't even know they were low dust when I bought them. But its a plus and it stops great. Also the factory front brakes didn't get replaced till the truck had 95k miles on it. Not bad
