    I think it's time to change the brakes on my truck. What brand would you guys suggest?
    Thanks

    I've got the brake ringing occurring while cruising - so its almost time for me as well. I'm using them until they make the death grind noise. 74k miles on the factory brake hardware and fluid.

    For rotors I'm either going with EBC or Centric Premium or Brembo. Just regular blank rotors, but with edge and hub paint treatments to keep them pretty from rusting.

    For Pads I'm going with either Toyota TRD pads, Hawk LTS, or EBC. Need to decide whether the TRD pads are worth $30 more or not.

    For fluid I'm swapping to Motul RBF 600 (3 1/2 containers). I've used this stuff on two other vehicles - certainly firms up the brake pedal, AND it keeps the pedal feel linear significantly longer assuming that the truck isn't taken to the track. Its pricey compared to other performance fluids or the crappy Valvoline Dot3 sold at the auto parts stoers, but definitely worth it...only purchase it after you've finally had good experiences swapping brake fluid.
