Default FRONT BRAKE PADS

It's that time again and I was wondering what all of you run for front brake pads. Thanks for your input.

Just a semi metalic medium grade pad will work. One thing that is bullet proof on the dodges are the brakes!

The Value Line is not the same as the OE pads...and there have been reports of quick wear too.

I have Raybestos ThermoQuiets on mine...got almost 70k on them now, and they are hardly worn. I should easily get 150k+ out of them, unless something happens.

Make sure you lubricate the slide points and bushings when you have it apart...

Thanks for all the input. Got them replaced but now I have to put something on them because one side is still squeeling like crazy.
