when i did my axle swap i used BrakeBest pads on the new axle...after like a month the shims had broken off all 4 pads so i upgraded to Wagner pads which have shims made into the pads. They're really good pads. I'll also agree that Bendix makes good stuff. I've never had much problem warrantying parts, b.c., although the warranty is against defect, not wear...if somehow the pad (or shoe) is "mysteriously" cracked when it gets to the store, they have to warranty it. on rotors, it'd be hard to do, but if you get the stuff @ O'Reillys get the good ones. the difference is made in china and made in USA...the chinese ones we've had a lot of people come back in and complain about them warping.
