Best brake pad to handle the weight/heat? Hawk? EBC?
My pads are done and I don't like throwing mystery pads on there.
(1997 Roadtrek Dodge b3500)
I'd like to assume Roadtrek thought about the brakes before adding a ton of weight to this van.
Some upgrade pads I've found are Hawk HPS, and EBC Yellowstuff. I've used that Hawk compound on my car before and they are popupar with the sports car/auto-x crowd as they can handle more heat, and have more grip, but at the expense of noise and dust. They also made an HD pad which seems marketed to trucks, which I have on my Tacoma.... but is not available for the Roadtrek.
Am I overthinking this? I know ceramic pads are low dust but my experience with them is they perform far worse than oem.
