What's your recommendation?

My 2004 2wd Supercrew has 72,000 miles on it with the factory rotors and pads. I need new rotors and pads front and back. I'd like a good rotor and a set of pads that don't produce a lot of brake dust. What do you guys recommend?

Don't know much about rotors, but I like my CarQuest Blues semi-metallic brake pads a lot.
If you're going with decent aftermarket rotors though you may want to consider some ceramic pads. Virtually no dust, and some other benefits. I'm sure others with more brake knowledge than I will chime in.
Have you looked in Brakes forum?

Here's what I have:

Front rotors = Napa Ultra Premium rotors
Rear rotors = Raybestos PG Plus rotors
Pada front & rear = Wagoner ThermoQuiets

I've had this combination for about 5,000 miles now. So far, they seem to be a great match! Dusting is much less that OEM equipment, and I haven't heard a squeek from them yet!

Here's a thread that was started about this exact same topic...yesterday.

brake pads suggestions: ceramic or semi-metallic?
