I'm about to do my front brakes and am looking towards replacement pads from Autozone or Advance auto parts.Any recommendations? Also,anyone know who carries stainless steel brake hoses?

 

Either Bendix Titanium Metallics or Raybestos Quiet Stops will give decent stopping with a low-dust formulation.

Expect to spend around $65-75 for either of these pad sets at Advance.

I installed Wagners ($45)on my 97 last fall. They stop well, but do dust some. After 8 months without washing (yeah, I know..), they look about like the OEM pads did after two weeks.

Where did you buy the Wagners?

I used Wagner Thermo Quiet and would not hesitate to use them again. they were excellent. The local Sears Auto uses these so they must present no problems. I bought them at ACME auto.

 

If your looking for a pad brand that will provide you with low dust and exceptional stopping power over OEM and brand X from your local parts store, then install HAWK HPS performance pads. These pads are awesome and are nearly the same cost as the others. I have used these pads on many applications including my 2001 F-150 4x4 and my 580 RWHP Vortech blown 86 Mustang LX.
