I just put a set of ebc green pads on my dads truck with some drilled/slotted rotors and they seem to do pretty awesome when it comes to minimal brake dust

I also have encourage greenstuff ceramic pads with slotted rotors.
They are awesome. I've gone probably about 15,000 miles and they both still
Look brand new, and when measuring with a micrometer, they are almost new still.

I need to update it, but here's the thread:

I’ve used SP Performance Rotors and brake pads for past 10 years on different cars that I’ve owned. I’ve never had any problems. I was able to get 73,000 miles on a set of their Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors opposed to around 29,000 miles on the stock rotors on my 1500 Pick Up .

I purchased a new set for my Impala about 2 months aao and the car stop much better, don’t need to push on the pedal has hard to get it to stop. I purchased them from www.street-plus.com and used Promotion Code 10F-626-5 and receive a 10% Discount. I believe the code is still active.

I vote for the ACDelco ceramic pads and ACDelco rotors. Mine have worked nicely over the last 6 years. Probably about 50k and no issues. (I used to get wear, dust, and warped rotors with some of the aftermarket stuff).
