Wow! I appreciate all of the responses on this. I do know from what several have brought up is the rear pads do wear out quicker than the front. I was told by the dealer I may have 5k left on them. I was thinking of getting the Napa Ceramics but also considered Brutstops. I am not looking to spend the kind of $$$ for the Akebobo brakes so hopefully lower cost ceramic brakes will work well. Thanks for the info!

I would highly recommend Wagner Thermo Quiet pads. Excellent brake feel compared to the originals, and almost no dust.

I agree, I replaced all 4 corners on my wife's truck with these and they work great with no dust.

I changed mine out all around at 22k, I couldn't handle all of the dust. It was out of control. Just one trip to work and back and the rims looked like *****.

As A Tech Ive Tried Tons Of Different Pads Out There. The Best Direction For No Noise Is Oem; However The New Napa "one" Ceramic Pads Are On My Wifes Car (guinea Pig) And They Seem To Have Been Excellent; Been On For 5k Now. Everyone Seems To Rave About The Akebonos; Ive Never Tried Em But Alot Of People Like Em. The Wagners Are Junk, I Cant Tell Ya How Many Sets Of Those Ive Pulled Out. I Would Go Oe Or If Ya Want Ceramic These Napa (ones) Or Akebono; The Napa Will Probably Be Cheaper...
