Default Brake pads

I am getting close to the point of replacing my pads and shoes and was wanting a good set of pads that dont let of massive amouts of dust like the ones i have on now but yet have great stopping power i was told that wagner thermo quiets were the way to go or even napa brand. not sure what kind of shoes to go with i hear monroe makes great shoes but i wanted your guys opinion to see what you think!!

Thanks,

-Brent

I've had good luck with AutoZone's Duralast Gold pads.

Ive got some Satisfied ceramic pads on the front and they work pretty good. No noise either. I think my rears are just cheap advance werever carp. Didnt spend much back there since they dont do much.

The wagner pads at O'reillys have a life time replacement on the so if you return them before its metal on metal you get another pair free. Its like pads for life if you keep up on it. Im not sure if other pads have that but I work at an O'Reillys so that just my experience
