I want to put new pads on my work truck. Ok, its my MB ML320 I now tow with but it is my work truck. Recommendations? I usually get just crap from advance but I am going to be towing a trailer of furniture from wisconsin so I want to make sure I get the best option.

Buy the best pad you can from Autozone or Advance with a lifetime warrantee. Wear them out and take them back.

Be sure to use blue loctite on the caliper bolts and torque them down. Your rims will last longer that way! :wink:

many of the Club Racers on Bimmerforums swear by the Hawk Super Duty pads. i put them on the Ford and they did not last very long, but the Ford probably outweighs your "Gotta Dance" ride 2 to 1.

have you checked with CarboTech?

This time coming back from Wisconsin, not going. BUT, the plan is for son in law to learn the insurance biz then start an agency back up there. His parents can help them move back.

Yes, Gotta Dance!
