    Just wonder what you all use when you replace your brake pads on the tacos. How many use aftermarket vs. OEM products???? In the past I always used OEM but I know there are so many other manufactures out there and the all claim to be "the best" or better than original equipment

    Hawk pads have been used by lots of folks as the reduce brake dust a fair bit (up to 50% I guess)

    none except for crappy hub caps and floor mats.
    I use whatever's on sale. Typically Raybestos. I get around 55-60,000 miles, then replace em' again. Only takes an hour and bingo-done.

    I am only guessing....But anyone can claim hype...........I can only assume Ceramic brakes are ceramic brakes....Meaning cheaper ones are close to the same as higher priced ones....I doubt if you could measure something like this.... So I went with the ATE's Ceramic....no comment on them yet.
