Rotorpro's. Dimpled and slotted. Drilled rotors on our trucks shatter after awhile.

As for brake pads, Hawk makes some street compound pads that work great.


Of course, if you HAVE to have them this week, I'd say take it to a stealership and get some replacement stockers thrown on there.

Okay, how much do you have to spend, lol. Brembo kit is like 3400 bucks or something rediculous like that.

As far as the other things, I'll see what I can find.

That's just for fronts. I thought you were talking about their big brake kit.

Stylinconcepts sells brake stuff if you don't wanna go with that.

That's what the majority of guys are running with little to no problem as long as you go with the Dimpled/Slotted and HPS pads. If your budget can afford more, then get what you want. I think most go with the Rotorpros simply because they're a good deal.
