Break Pad Question

[rickp0001]

Guys and gals, I'm planning on changing out the pads on my 02 Tahoe but I don't know the good brands. Can you give any advice? I am an aggresive driver.

Thanks in advance

Napa has a good ceramic pad but the rotors must be resurfaced or new to use ceramics.

Thanks maxwedge,
Hey is the brand Hawk good? I was looking at their ceramic and their carbon high performance pads?
Just to b e clear, If i install ceramic pads I have to turn the rotors? What about carbon?

Carbon pads only work well after heated, this is not for everyday driving, yes the rotors should be turned and have a final orbital finish done to get the most out of any brake job.
