Default brake pads an rotors

Hello Could someone recommend a good set of replacement pads and rotors. Is it best to go with the basic kit Atlantic sells with factory pads. The truck is driven on the street and highway, no off road driving. Also pads with no brake squealing.

You will get a ton of different opinions on this. Every person has a favorite or right answer.

I like EBC a lot.

power stop rotors & ceramic pads work extremely well on all my LR's.

EBC GD Sport rotors and Akebono ceramic pads.
Stops great and very low brake dust.

I am running cross drilled/ slotted rotors from Lucky8 with Akebono ceramic pads, no issues whatsoever. My LR guy says it's overkill, that the standard rotors and pads will suffice, however I love them, brakes better and no brake dust in the wheels anymore. I also did stainless lines at the same time.

X many ............ , EBC pads are great IMO. TF or Britpart cross drilled and grooved rotors and 2-4 hours work if you check and grease the slider pins. (but don't lose the carrier bolts though like LR03NJ )

Unless EBC Green Pads have changed their design I've never owned a set of brake pads that left so much goo on the rims in my life!!!!!

The Power Stop stuff I've been using leaves barely anything on the rims, and it's 156.00 for all 4 rotors (cross drilled/slotted), and F/R Ceramic Brake Pads. Sorry for the price they can't be beat.

I've installed em on 5 D2's and even my wife's LR3. They stop great and I've never had an issue. When I used to run standard Rotor's on P38/D2/LR3's eventually I'd have issues due to excessive heat. With the cross drilled/slotted that has never been an issue since.

Akebono (ceramic) pads = no brake dust on wheels. :-)
