What pads and What fluid?

Ceramic pads wont help until they are hot, once they are heated up then they will really grip the rotor. I don't recommend these for the street unless you're pulling a trailer down steep grades and need brakes that wont fade. Standard replacement pads will serve you well.

OK, thanks. I don't pull a tralier, but I do have the truck loaded coming out of the mountains sometimes. Well look at the price difference and go from there.

Thanks again!

I was going to go to NAPA and get their ceramic ones. Are these the best for stoppping performance?

I also want to keep the stock rotors and not go too wild (read too expensive). Just get a shorter stopping distance is all I am after.

Also, I need to change the rear end fluid. I do have the G80. Can I use mobile 1 in there or do I need the dealer's brand?

If I can use mobile 1, do I need anything specific for the Eaton POS? Like friction modifiers or anything else?
