I'm in the market for new pads and rotors all the way around and I want to hear peoples expirences and recommendations. I'm looking to go ceramic pads with drilled and slotted rotors. Any and all input will help!
Thanks

I would not go drilled unless you go top-line (bermbo or such) but I have used power slots, and EBC rotors with great luck. I am currently running brakelabs (yes the ones on e-bay) rotors and pads and will be putting on my other cars when the time comes.
 






Thanks. I found an almost identical thread....guess I forgot what that fancy search button can do
 






anybody know what diameter rotors i need? i see there is 11.2", 11.85", 12.02", and 12"...?
 






I just put on brembo replacement rotors from auto parts warehouse .com and akebono ceramic pads all around. They are a little pricey but nice and quiet and no fade at all. Not sure the size but when you search the sites for the truck year/model it'll spit out the right stuff.
 






Remember, brakes, like all things automotive, are a compromise. When asking for recommendations it is important to try and specify your priorities.
