I have them all the way around. Got them at a local parts store, but you can get them off the internet.

Thanks for the info b/c with my wheels being powder coated black they only stay clean for a short period of time before I start to see break dust. Do you think Autozone would have them?

If they don't have them, I bet they can get them overnight. Three years ago, I paid $47 for the front and $43 for the rear.

Anyone tried the Wagner Sever Duty pads? Just curious if they are actually better or not.

Absolutely! In fact I don't know that I get any brake dust anymore? Probably some there but not visible. My truck is usually washed weekly but whenever I do go longer than that I still see no signs of brake dust. Back with the stock pads dust was showing in just a day or two.

they are significantly less than oem...however, since i put my 23's back on - they definately dust more that when i had stock 17s on.

i only changed out the front to see how well they would work and i say that with the wagner tq's dust up front the same as the oem rears...

before, with all oem pads, the front would be completely brown and the rear would look clean - so i can definately tell a difference.

if you had chrome 20's - i bet you couldnt even tell there was dust

black 23's are just impossible to keep clean..trust me-i know

I have chrome 20s, and I usually wash weekly, but I have gone 3 weeks and there is no brake dust showing. I get road dust over the whole truck, including the wheels, but no drake dust is visable.

Short of someone inventing a brake pad with a built in vaccum cleaner I doubt you can get any other pads that produce significantly less dust!

put the wagners on tonite. will be towing the boat this weekend, boat weighs around 2300# and will be hauling it around 100 miles round trip. so we'll see how well they do. i'm gonna put off washing for at least a good week to see how they do. usually after this boat trip and a couple of days driving, my front wheels and tires were brown. so we'll see how the wagners do.

thanks bluejay for the recommendation, it's now been 1000 miles with the wagner tq's on the front and i have to say there is little to no dust. front wheels and tires look the same as the back. got a good deal with the mail in rebate. thanks
