Brakes

So after about a month of wondering why I was getting excess brake dust on my front wheel, me and my friend took off my rear wheel to check it out..well the brake pad no longer touches the drum and thus causing my front brakes to work significantly harder..and they are pretty much worn down now too.. (my dad said not to check my back brakes when i did the fronts, this is the price i pay..) anyway my question is now I need new pads all around what are some quality pads i can get? should i just stick with the duralast or bocsh? I want something that produces minimal dust.. although i do realize when i change all my pads and my brake distribution is even again i wont have as much brake dust as i do now.. so any ideas on what pads and where to get em? I need some front and back, i thought about getting rotors as well but since these still have life im going to keep them for now.. thanks

Re: Brakes

^^^OEM ones for the rear are fine IMO. The majority of the braking is handled by the front anyway (hence Pop's advice) so no need to pay more than necessary for the rears.
