I have an f350 and it's ready for pads and rotors. I want something with best stopping power and yet will last a while. any feelings on this subject?

On my F350 Dually when it was time to put brakes on it, I went with Hawk Brake Products. Rotors and Pads. Was really happy the way the truck stopped, and the wear I got out of the pads.

Wagner Silents are good

Napa rotors and I have the best luck with the ford pads. They last a long time and stay quiet!!

Hawk pads OEM replacement rotors (brembo). Don't need a special rotor, but you can pick a pad that has the wear/dust characteristics you're after.

I've been happy with OEM ford stuff on my f250. Hawks are good pads as well.

x2 best way to go without going to a big brake kit.

I'm a service manager at a ford dealer and I have not seem a single aftermarket pad stay quiet on a superduty.
Use good fluid and you will never need more than an properly working stock for system. All of our fleet customers stock after market rotors and ford pads.

Hawk pads and Stoptech rotors are a trusted setup on the SuperDuty Fords.

I have them on mine, and am quite pleased with the performance. (I am running 19.5" wheels and G-rated medium duty tires.)

If you have bright wheels, you may want the ceramic pads. I have dark wheels, and opted for the SUPERDUTY SEVERE DUTY TRUCK pads. Even so, I can't complain about dust. It's not bad at all.

You can get them at Summit, or any number of places online, or locally.
I was sick and tired of warping front rotors on my dually, so I went with cryo frozen rotors from http://frozenrotors.com
(I was running top quality Napa rotors and pads, and was warping the crap out of them within 10-20K miles.)

PowerStop and Power Slot are the same thing. They used to be called Power Slot, but are now known and sold as PowerStop.

If you are running anything bigger than factory wheels/tires on a 3/4 or 1-ton truck, I highly recommend this setup.


FWIW: Ceramic pads, while "cleaner" (the brake dust is actually light grey, so they still get the wheels dusty/dirty; it just doesn't show as bad)...
...DO take a while to grab upon first jumping in the truck. They have to be warmed up to grab, so make sure you keep this in mind when driving.

Last: Make sure you bed new brakes, always. It DOES make a difference:
