![Question](https://www.f150online.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Been reading up on upgrading my brake pads and wanted to get the latest information from you guys. I have polished aluminum rims and it’s a lot of work cleaning the brake dust off them!!!
So which pads do you vote for as my upgrade? Keep in mind I wont be upgrading rotors at this time because low on funds.
I’m also taking suggestions on links to a place to buy them or feel free to recommend any other pad not listed. I just listed the ones below that seemed the most popular. (Thanks!)
Carquest (Raybestos) pads BLUE
AKEBONO
Hawk HPS
Wagner Thermo Quiets

HAWK LTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously the decision stops right there. Hawk makes some great pads. I just switched my car to Hawp HPS pads and Powerslot rotors and the braking is incredible. If you want your F-150 to stop like a sports car time and time again, go with these. And ****, for $530 you could rock all 4 pads and 2 new slotted rotors!!!!!!!!!!!!
