Time's come for front brakes, does anyone sell some NICE brake pads for the f250s? I'd love to get some ceramics, but can't find any. I've got the HD Dayton calipers and the best pads I can find are the "organic" (aka asbestos) pads. Don't really want asbestos, got enough health trouble as is!

Autozone has semi-metallic.

 

I wish I knew what type I have... Got them in like new condition from pick n pull for free in a zip lock bag full of hardware. Low dust and lots of Good stoppage.

 

Just found out Bendix still makes pads for our trucks!

It says this version's made from a titanium metallic compound, suppose to be better than regular semi-metallic. I might order a set and see how they do.

I'm running semi-mettalic on my '78 F250. They last longer than organic and take high temps better. Mine are AZ "Duralast" brand. I'm sure most parts stores can get the semi-mettalic's in their "better" line.

 

Raybestos (online catalog at www.raybestos.com) has like five different compounds.. organic to semi-metallic depending on what ya want. But no ceramic pads.

I think they also make AZO's Duralast housebrand ...Im attempting to verify that tho.
