Default New rotors and pads.

What do you guys recommend for my 03 z71 suburban? I'll go with hawk pads but I know there alot of diffrent types of rotors on the market or should I just stick to OE rotors? I would like better brakes then what stock offers and was looking at power-slots? Any good?

they are good but you will need to run 20" wheels with the 14" rotors...

i would only recommend upgrading your brakes performance wise if your not happy with them. my truck stops very well IMO on the stock setup, even with 20s. when i had my stock wheels and tires, i would to brake as hard as i could at red lights. if your happy with your stock setup, just get hawk pads and dress your calipers up if your into that.

im guessing with the weight of a suburban thats 4WD, it does not stop all that well. i would go with the big brake upgrade. its around 4-500 and i think baer makes the kit. eradispeed? something like that.
