Hello First time poster..long time reader.

I have a '03 Hummer h2 w/ about 80,000 miles on it. I need brake pads for both sides Front and Rear as well as rotors for only the rears. Can anyone recommend a fairly decent set for both the rotors and brakes please? This vehicle rarely goes offroad and I take good care of her. Though alot of the driving is around town and sometimes on the highway. Any referrals/recommendations for these items would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!!

for pads...

depends on how much you want to spend..

i did my brakes about 5k miles ago.
went with Hawk performance pads for both front and rear.
rotors were in very good shape. didnt turn them at all.

if i had the time, or if shops around me carried it, i would have gone with EBC red or blue stuff.( that is the name of the pads RedStuff, Bluestuff)

if i really wanted to spend the money, a nice set of slotted rotors for the front.

when i did my brakes, i was chasing a squeak in the front end that was the driver side brake, but also a rock pushing the dust cover on the passenger side hub. that was my main concern at the time. the front brakes were in good shape, but the rear pads were worn down pretty good.

if you really want to spend the $$$ there are Brembo Big Brake kits to be had.
new i think is somewhere around the $6k area....

for everything i did, i spent maybe $200 ish for both front and rear pads, and parts. also replaced the brake caliper bolts from the torq nut to a standard bolt. forgot the size, but i always strip the torq bolts, so i got rid of them.
