I need new brake pads all the way around on my 2002 F150....what type do you all recommend for being quiet and clean...I have been looking at Hawk and EBC. Thanks for any help.

Don't get any better than Wagner Thermoquiets. On my second set. First set went over 80,000 miles.

Wagner Thermoquiets will probably come in at #1 recommended. It does get better than that, and they're called EBC...but you pay for it. I have the EBC's (7000 on front & 6000 on rear) and absolutely love them. I've never seen a brake pad, including the Wagners, with less dust than my front pads! But, expect about $100 per axle.

In all honesty, Wagners, EBC, or Hawk will all be great, highly recommended pads and you can't go wrong with either. If you don't have a brand loyalty, get Wagner if cost is a concern for you.

After searching and reading all of Bluejays posts on this subject I also went with Wagner TQ's. I replaced my oem's with 19,600 miles because my new 35's were killing me with dust, the pedal got softer and braking distance felt diminished.. Once i installed the TQ's i noticed a huge improvement. There far superior, great pedal feel, very smooth, VERY quiet.. and best of all.. very minimal dusting..

Thanks for all the help...I think I may go with the Wagners...I can get them locally and I would have to order the EBCs.
