Brake pads STOPTECH or OEM Chevrolet
I put 167k on a company owned 08 Silverado 4.8l. Oil, brakes and tires were all it ever needed and I beat the snot out of that truck.
The brake feel is linear and pedal feel is good, as well as for the go-pedal.
Have your brakes been broken in properly? It could be that, I replaced the brakes on Face's car and they had the metal on metal sound for abit till they got fully broken in. The creaky type noise could be your wheel bearing.
but i want the brakes though! mmm.. StopTech.
This is why I'm switching to Stoptechs up front!
As for Wilwoods - they are good but require more maintance due to the lack of a dust boot/seals on the pistons - unless they've changed that now. I had StopTech's on my TT and they were excellent. Of course i'd use Porterfield RS4 pads rather than the stock Axxis that comes with them, but I was very impressed with the fit and finish as well as overall power and modulation of the StopTechs.
I have the Stoptech 332mm front brakes with stainless lines all around, I used Pagid Orange for the track event. They definitely performed as advertised. I had just a hair of brake fade and that is only because I was over driving the brakes. I had all the confidence in the world in those brakes.
