If you want the best, go with Power Slots with Hawks Pads. That's my opinion as well as many others here.

Others will also suggest Ford OE stuff. I have Carquest Heavy-duty pads and rotors on the back, NAPA Severe-duty pads and rotors on the front and a Carquest caliper on right rear. So far so good. I'm not worried about pulling a 5er from Indiana to Oregon and back this summer.

Also, Advanced Auto now sells Wagner (MADE IN USA), I have them on the front of the Wife's Durango and they warranty the 1st set against defect and WEAR. That is sweet. I wish they had been doing it when my PSD needed brakes.

Just my .02

I run the wagner's and the warranty is good but I warp them out in about 8500 miles..

Then I have to pay to get them resurfaced (turned).

I will go to the power slots and hawk pads after these wear out
