2005 Silverado 5.3L Z71 front disc rear drums...
The stock pads and rotors fade very easy, whats the best UPGRADE for front pads and rotors? Is there a decent big brake upgrade kit that wont break the bank?

any suggestions?

I have an 05 as well and think it stops great compared to the 04 I had that was 4 wheel disk. I'm wondering if your rear brakes need adjusted out. They may not be adjusted properly which makes the front brakes have to provide more of the braking proportion, which in turn causes them to get hot faster. I'd check the rear brakes and make sure they are adjusted out correctly. If they are, try some name brand ceremic pads on the front brakes. In 2005 they increased the front brake size when they went to the rear drums.
