Pads & Rotors

[gcbimmer]

Doing my brakes and just want reccomendations for best pads and rotors for my daily driver 2002 XLT. Already picked up a pair of rear Bendix CQ pads, but might want to go with the Bendix CT. Heard they are better. Let me know if anyone feels differently or if the CQ's are good enough. Rotor suggestions? Not looking to spend a fortune, but don't want the junk either. I know all these are discussed often, but I can't make heads or tails of all of it.

Thanks.

What are you looking for in a pad? Longer life, better grabbing, low dust, low noise?

Unfortunatly you can't have all of them but I put on Wagner Theroquiet ceramics and love them. Almost no dust, grab better then OEM and were under $70 for the fronts

I do realize I can't have it all, but priority goes from (1)grab-(2)quiet (3)dust (4) long life with one and two very close because all brakes will stop you when needed and squeaky brakes drive me nuts. It can also get cold here in NY, so keeping that in mind also. As for rotors, long life without warp, probably asking too much there too.
