I've found some on ebay for a great price that are OEM type and come with a set of titanium pads. What do you guys use when you have to replace them? I do some moderate towing (14ft utility trailer with 2 full size ATV's).

Also, would titanium pads be a bad thing? More noise? more wear?

If the pad material is made of titanium, they would suck and be stupid expensive. That is just a marketing term. I'd just go to your favorite parts store and get some pads and rotors. If you question the quality, ask them to mount the rotors on the brake lathe and check for runout.

Pads are a real preference thing. Most people won't notice the difference in any pad. But some do and some need more capacity. Feroda, EBC, and Metal Master all are available at speed shops and ALL OVER the internet. They are also fairly reasonably priced.

I've replaced rotors before- just did this on my Frontier. I don't know who's best, but BREMBO is a solid name in the business , and are the manf's for the rotors I just put on.

They didn't come cryo'd , so I had to do that, temper, and then aged them for a month ( on the roof).


Never heard of titanium pads, but i swear PBR/AXXIS ULTIMATE "KEVLAR CERAMIC" pads stop like nothing else.

I just replaced my rotors and pads in June.

I went with Carquest. There a little on the expensive side but they sell on quality on quantity/price.

I went with their best rotors and pads. Rotors were around $120 for both. They were ready to install. Tag on the box said "ready to install, Do not put on a lathe do not resurface". I went with ceramic brake pads. $70 a pair.

Ceramic brake pads are designed to dispense heat more efficiently at high tempters. They do the same that that Drilled or slotted rotors do. If you use ceramic brake pads on drilled rotors, the pads and rotors will cancel each other out causing very poor braking. If your going to go with a drilled rotor the best brake pad is a metallic type.

After installation I noticed a major increase in breaking ability. Since the truck was new I never could lock up the brakes. She will lock up if you lay onto the peddle hard enough.
