Re: 98 Blazer pad/rotor combo

What I recommend is the same thing I do on my own: The cheapest rotors that you can find. The best ceramic pads, (slotted and chamfered, with riveted on shims) that you can find. Bendix, Raybestos and Wagner all make excellent quality pads. Replace and lube all of the hardware. Make sure the pistons are not binding in the caliper bores. Make sure the rear brakes are working properly and adjusted correctly. I've been doing brakes this way for years with no squeaks, fade, or pull and typically get 50,000 miles on a brake job. Keep in mind that yes, I’m old, but the fact remains, it works.
