I've used many cheap Chinese brake pads. They worked, but wore quickly. Or they made lots of dust and wore out the rotors. Or they squealed like a pig. Sometimes I had to grind them down to get them to fit. Got the cheap crap I paid for. Garbage.

I'm definitely not after any of that business. I've done that route before andd a little extra $ w stimulus and was fortunate enough to work through it all for the most part. I'm ready to do the work and just drive and hopefully come to a stop.

My experience with PowerStop is that they are the same Chinese pads sold at AutoZone put in colorful boxes, sold with Chinese rotors that are cut a second time here in the USA to get the wobble out. Your experience may be different. Let me know.

Hadn't considered hawk, I guess I didnt really think about performance aftermarket too much only because I'm just looking for something slightly better than stock. I used to run the HPS pads w C5 Z06 calipers and they were great. Used to really screw w the counter guys when I drive up in a buick and need vette pads.

I've used Wagner OEX pads on two vehicles and I liked them a lot. Good stopping power with minimal brake dust and wear great. I will admit that I didn't tow "heavy" with them for any prolonged trips, but when I did tow, they were more fade-resistant than the stock pads that came with the vehicles.
