I was looking at BrakePerformance.com for some new brake rotors and was wondering what u guys would recommened the cross drilled and slotted or the dimple drilled and slotted? I am replacing the stock rotors on an 04 silverado 2wd. Also looking at new pads any recommenations? Thanks

Forgot to mention i have 20's and am trying to do this on a budget.

 

I had good luck with EBC Rotors and Green pads

EBC Ultimax Black Anodised Brake Rotors..

I really wish i could get some of the factory rotors and pads that came on my truck. i had 180k miles on them, no problems.

 

The brake pads would depend on how you use the truck. City cruising and quality chrome wheels would normally use ceramic pads, racing and light hauling usually use semi-metallic (stock) pads and heavy hauling/trailering usually have a full metallic pad. The more metal the more dusting.

Rotors are personal--I personally do not like the inconsistency of Chinese rotors so I buy the Canadian truck rotors off fleabay. The best under normal conditions are the solid rotor, slotted are next and slotted/dimpled or drilled are the weakest. However, there are many who feel a slotted/drilled domestic is superior to solid made anywhere else.

 

Powerslots & hawk pads

 

brembo stock replacements and a good pad.. tirerack.com

 

I think I have a set of those paperweights with <40k on them laying around...want them?

 

I would recommend upgrading to the 05+ bigger rotors and better calipers in the front and going with 2 piston calipers w/ the thicker rotors for the rear.

 

Im looking to upgrade as well. Is there a sticky on the 05+ bigger rotor up front with caliper? If not please inform.

 

None that I'm aware of. You just get the 05+ caliper, braket, and rotor and bolt it up. Bleed. Done.

 

some stockers?
