Default Who's upgraded their brakes?

My brakes are in need of being replaced soon as the pedal is getting very soft and they wear has just been too much for them.

I was looking at the power slot rotors along with the hawk pads and earls brake lines. I want to upgrade all four brakes, but I am only finding power slots for the front on a 2001 1500 GMC Sierra. Also the hawk pads that Thunder sells, are these for only the front? Finally, the earls brake lines (5 lines) I assume is for all four corners...

So, are the front and rear brakes identical and accepting the same parts, or are these companies only making parts for the front?

Thanks,
B

I just did powerslots and hawk HP+ on the front after my stock rotors took a crap on me.

Works better than stock thats for sure. I can still slightly lock a rear tire if I'm stopping and making a turn so I wouldn't say it needs a lot more rear brake.

If your pedal is getting mushy then do a really good bleed first with a quality brake fluid. If thats all that its doing right now, 90% of the pedal is going to be how good the bleed is on the truck.

Default Rotors

Yeah, I got the rear rotors for about 150 each, discounted price. I was kinda shocked when I heard the price. I work on BMW's and some of our rotors cost about that much, cheap ones anyway but there made better, stop better that is.
