I recommend Carbotech Engineering products. Excellent products, service and price. High friction low dust linings that really perform well and used by many mfg's including Mercedes (supercoupe). I have used their products for 20+ years, the owner formally worked for Wellmen (who designs/mfg's the brake linings for the Indy & formula 1 cars). I typically get around 75,000+ miles on a set of pads.
Wife (italian- heavy foot on gas and brakes) drives in very heavy city traffic with a 1997 Cougar Sport (V8) and at 65k miles still has 2mm of wear remaining on fronts & rears before we reach OEM recommended replacement.
On my previous 1990 F150 (80% highway), I had 90K miles on the fronts before replacement was required and the rears (shoes) were replaced at 115K miles when I sold the truck.
His products typically come in many various specifications to meet your needs. The lining that I chose (IIRR) had an operating temp of 1000 degrees F, increased friction of about 10-12%, very low dust and are very much rotor/drum friendly
