brake time for the 02 burb. need pad ideas

first time since we've owned it that the brakes will need to be done.

are all pads created equal for this beast?

im looking at these for the front and these for the rear for about $80+ tax.

as far as exact fit those look to be the best advance auto has to offer with good ratings. they are about $65 a set. then there is a $50 off coupon code to make them $80+ tax

Re: brake time for the 02 burb. need pad ideas

ok i talked to my mechanic and he said that if ceramic pads aren't recommended that he wouldn't suggest putting them on due to the squeaking affect it might cause.

so are ceramics ok to put on or the semi-metallic?

I ran the Wagner Ceramics for years on my 97 Burb and loved them. Quiet and low dust emitting.

Re: brake time for the 02 burb. need pad ideas

i too went the thermo quiet on my 02 1500hd front and rear. went thru 2 sets of annoying screeching with them. (the old brakes were silent just getting worn) Even with all new rotors, pads, clips, cleaned and greased properly they would be fine for about a week and a half then start screeching. finally made them warranty from the thermo quiets to perfect stops. Been alot happier with those than the thermo quiets.
