Wanted to get some opinions. Looking soon to replace the brake pads in the Jeep. Need some suggestions on an OEM upgrade replacement. Not upgrading brake system, just want some better pads that will last, not alot of dust and don't squeak. Thanks for the Help!

I'm running EBC yellow stuff pads in the back. They seem to be lasting well, haven't noticed any more dust than factory, and they don't squeak. Can't say I've noticed improved braking, but it's hard to tell. Still running the factory front brake pads. After 93,000 miles, the fronts still look new. I think the fronts might last forever. I got 67,000 out of the factory rear pads.

I had hawk pads in the rear after wearing through the factory ones and while they were a brake pad, they weren't out of this world. I'm now on Wagner OEX pads in the rear and I'm quite fond of them. They stop, they don't seem to her dust even when pulling a trailer loaded to our max, and they're silent.

I'm running 35's with these pads and if they made a set for the front then I'd have them too.

You sure they don't make fronts? Thought I saw them on eBay once before. I've been running hawks myself for years. They are silent and last quite a few miles

I put hawk lts pads front and rear when my 2012 hit 70,000 miles. Rotors looked great so I didn't change them. I was amazed at the increase in stopping power compared to oem. Initially I was extremely pleased. And then the dust came. I now get more dust in a month than the oem did in a year. This makes my wheels look horrible. I will not use hawk lts again.

If you are doing the work yourself I went with the autozone gold ceramic pads. They have a lifetime guarantee and I keep bringing them back. Before each summer and change them out. No questions asked. Never had a problem with them and I went with new centrix rotors.

I too replaced my stock pads with the Hawk LTS. Very please with stopping power, initial brake bite and pedal feel. Major improvement over OEM.

how long have you had them, and can you comment on the level of brake dust. I can't stand the amount of dust, but love the stopping feel.
