never heard about EBC brake info for vehicles, but their quality for motorcycle stuff is very good! Those dimpled and slotted black rotors look pimp!

Look in the sponsers section. Wholesale Direct is running a special on brakes right now.

When I did my brake project, in addition to the EBC front rotors, I went with Powerslot rear rotors. I also went with Earl's 5 line braided stainless kit and Hawk pads all around.

In general, the truck stops substantially better than stock. How much can be attributed to the EBC rotors I really can't say. I never tried it with just those rotors. I'd like to try some Powerslots up front and see if there is a difference. In my opinion the pads and probably the lines made the biggest difference overall.

One other thing I might note is that while they are of good quality, the EBC rotors WILL rust on you, and quite quickly at that. The Powerslots still look brand new after about 4 months of driving. If you do go with them, clear coat the hat area before you install them. To be totally honest, if I were to do it all over again, I'd probably go with Powerslots up front but that's not saying the EBC's are a bad product.
