I would recommend the Wagner SX series of severe duty semi metallic pads, or the Performance Friction carbon metallic pads.

are severe duty brake really necessary? I am looking at the quick stops as an alternative???
Oh and when I order on Rockauto, do I order Qty 2 for both wheels or 1 for one set?

PFC ceramics from Autozone. There is no substitution for ceramic and I paid around $45 per axle. They stop faster, respond quicker, fade less, dust less, and won't scout your rotors like semi-metallics can. Replace the rotors too. Don't machine them, replace them. That way the pad and rotor can bed together and should last you a long time. Get standard Autozone Duralast rotors. Cross-drilled and slotted are a waste of money. The braking power is in the pads and the fluid condition. Make sure the fluid is bled too. Brakes do not need to be expensive.
