Which brake pads to go with???

Ok, I can't stand the brake dust from the stock pads on my '08 F150. What pads have you all used? Any suggestions would be great.

As far as I am concerned thy don't get any better that Wagner ThermoQuiets. The high quality semi-metallic. I put 80,000 on the first set and 13,000 on my second set.

If you click on Search and go to the Advanced Search, enter Wagner and you will get lots of posts to read.

I changed mine to the Wagner ThermoQuiet semi-metallic and what a difference it makes.

EBC 7000's are by far the best pads out there IMHO, and beat the Wagners in the brake dust department also...but they're pricey. Bang for the buck, you can't beat the Wagners. They're very low dust, and extremely smooth braking...but I don't like them better than my EBCs. If cost is no option, they're the way to go.
