I’m helping a friend bring a 92 full-size Blazer back to life. Brakes are shot - rotors are rusted and pitted. I’m planning on pulling the wheels and checking the calipers but at the very least new rotors and pads.
The friend is planning on lifting the truck - it’s his “fun” project. Most friction seems to be Chinese or Indian made for this GMT400 application, save for Wagner and Raybestos Element3 Hybrid which is Mexican made. The truck won’t tow. I’m looking at a coated Centric 120 series or Powerstop Geomet coated rotors. For pads, I’ve had luck with Wagner ThermoQuiet semi-met but I’m giving either the EHT3 Hybrid Raybestos, or a semi-met Centric/DFC pad thought too.
Stick with Wagners, or give the Raybestos or other pads a shot? It seems like for that nearly 40-year old platform, not much has changed and brake parts are reasonably priced.
