Best Brakes

My truck needs front brakes, so I was wondering what the best pads and rotors are for our trucks. Thanks.

1994-96 Extreme Performance Brake Pads
These are what I have and swear by them. They increase braking very well.

Its my daily driver, don't do much with it except drive it, because I'm only 16 and have nothing to tow or anything like that. I like those rotors thanks.

Raybestos, you can't go wrong. That is all I use.

I've always had good luck w/ Raybestos too.
I use the PG line, and see they are now part of Affinia which includes Spicer chassis and Wix filters.
