Need brake pads for my 13WL (231mm) Tundra calipers

Hi all,

I just bought me a pair of 2005 Tundra calipers, which will go with my
Brembo crossed drilled rotors (in transit) and my Goodridge SS brake lines.
Now I'm in the process of purchasing brake pads but I'm not sure which ones are best....
This is what I'm looking at with Hawk Performance pads...

High Performance Street Pads; Performance Ceramic; Light Truck and SUV; or HP SuperDuty

PS

Please let me know which ones I should buy, or if there are other pads I should be looking at.

thxs,

Akebono ceramics would be another to consider.

Yes!

The porterfields are also very good, but quite spendy and I'm not sure how much benefit you'd see for the price. The ceramics are nice because they are low dusting and Akebonos almost never tend to squeal compared to any other type of ceramic pads I have come across.

I use the Hawk HPS, they stop well but dust really bad. If you drive in alot of stop and go traffic I would suggest these if you can deal with brake dust.
