Brake Question

Ok guys and gals here is my question....I have to get brakes tomm. and put them on because I have a wedding to go to this weekend....now I was wondering which would be better...AutoZone (Duralast Gold) or Advance <NOBR style="FONT-FAMILY: inherit; COLOR: darkgreen; FONT-SIZE: 100%; FONT-WEIGHT: normal" id=itxt_nobr_0_0>Auto</NOBR> (Wearever Gold). Now i know they arent the best brakes in the world but they are better than metal to metal. And i dont think I need them but should I put on the P-brake shoes also? I dont have a lot of cash so i figured I could do that down the line.

if you aren't going to turn your rotors (or replace them if you're really running metal to metal) you might as well get the ones closest to free...

+1, I would get the cheapest set of either house brand to get you through until you can do a proper brake job.

X3. I'm using the DureLast Golds with my stock rotors until I get all the parts in for my front end rebuild. I have CryoClots and Hawk LTS pads sitting in the garage, but a pad flaked, I had to do something in a hurry. I think they were $45 for the set here, not great, but not horrible.

Don't mess with the parking brake unless you have to, if it holds the truck still on a hill, it's good enough.
