Can anyone recommend a good set of ceramic brake pads for the front of my 97 f150 4x4? I have them on my truck right now, but they came with the truck so i have no clue what brand they are.

 

I am using Raybestos pads that I got at Carquest parts store. Doing fine - no wheel-eating dust and they stop well.

how much you pay? i dont have a carquest around here.

 

I like Bendix CT-3 from Kragen or Checkers and Akebono from tire rack. Both mid priced quality pads.

also using raybestos ceramic pads. About 30,000 on them and no problem at all. bought mine at autozone.

 

I'll check into those. I saw morse pads while at autozone. There were 5 pages of pads, but the kid didn't know how to scroll down to the other 4.

 

I put the Satisfied Pro ceramic brake pads on mine from tirerack.com. They stop great with the Brembo OEM rotors and run clean.

 

Akebono was actually the OE supplier when the 1997 F150 first came out, but later years Ford wanted to cut cost so they switched suppliers. Tirerack carries the Akebono ProACT pads, that is what I put on my F150. Ever notice the new Expeditions and Navigators, the front wheels are just black, $45,000 truck and they have some cheap semi-metalic pads.
