Default Asking questions about brake pad recommendations

Found out today the the horse needs a set of new shoes, got the rubber replaced today but the stopping power is on the down side. fronts are on the bottom 10% and want to replace them before they hit steel. 75,000 mile on the original brake pads is not too bad in my book, due to the fact it is used for daily driving. Suggestions???

About to replace brake pads myself. I have narrowed my search down to EBC yellow series and Hawk super duty pads or EBC truck yellows ...... Both companies and product are rated high. One draw back on the EBC yellows, very dusty pad .....

Spaceace, what made you pick the Hawk pads and which one did you use ?

Cheers.

I installed the HDs from O'Reilly's less than $100, The rotors were true and clean, no scoring or grooves. Decided to just 'Pad slap' it and move on. I put a few hot stops on them to bed them, no issues so far. Couldn't complain about 75,000 mile on the originals. Had less than 1/8" left on the originals and no cracking, amazing. The rears are still around 50%. Thanks for the feed back guys.
