That doesn't make sense. What you have asked for are pads that will tear up your rotors. Buy the cheapest, softest pads available (Autozone, Checkers, etc). The house brand will have a lifetime guarantee so when they wear out you just go get another set for free. Your rotors will last a lot longer, possibly for the life of the truck, and never require surfacing because the soft pads will conform. If your wheels get dusty wash them.

I thought that some pad materials will actually harden the rotors with use?
I think someone told me this about EGR brakes?

I've tried many, by far Hawk Performance HPS are the best. Long lasting, little dust and won't tear up your rotors. You can get them though www.tirerack.com or www.genosgarage.com

Infidel,
Is there a local performance shop that might have them?
Sensors started squeaking last Friday and went metal metal on Sunday, Truck has been parked since then. I was hoping they would last till I got the new wheels and tires (4-6 weeks on order) and then the bigger brakes go on as well.
