don't know about rotors, but I went with the duralast ceramic gold pads and love them. They are super quiet, and put out hardly any brake dust. I think they were 50 bucks a pair kinda high, not bad considering they have a lifetime replacement warranty.

I also went with the Duralast pads and rotors. Didn't go with the ceramic, had a bad experience with them. I now have 10K worth of mileage on them with no problems. Cheaper than some aftermarkets if money is an issue.

I went with Wager Thermo-quiet pads are quiet and hardly any dust and they stop great.

Powerstop cross drilled rotors and akebono ceramic pads.....by far the best pads on the market for our trucks, amazing stopping performance, virtually no dust and the rotors will ensure that you'll never have warped rotors again.....

Thumbs up

Don't know what brand of rotors to install but I highly recommend Wagner TQ pads! They leave virtually no brake dust on the wheels!

slotted rotors won't cool much better, therefore won't eliminate warping down the road where drilled rotors will.....So...my vote is for drilled rotors....but good quality ones...
