OEM stops just fine but does make a dusty mess I can live with that. Aftermarket you either go ceramic for no dust and have less stopping ability or you go metalic which reduces dust but eats rotors because the pads are so hard.
The rears weren't bad but had some start of corrosion on the rotors, so my buddy who works on my truck, put the rears on as well. I have to check on the time of replacement and miles on truck.
Powerstop CRK6405. So far so good. I don't know if the link will work or not.
I'll use the same when replacement time comes, the factory parts have no rust resistant treatment whatsoever.
They were put on at 42720 miles in June 2019. I have just over 72k miles now. I'm gonna wait for warmer weather to lube my front wheel bearings with my Riff Raff tool, so I'll be able to get a better look at the brakes when I do. I've been meaning to do it sooner but it never happened.
Here's the pics of the fronts:
This side wasn't bad...
the rears had a small spot or two. I wish my buddy would have left them on but put on the new pads and rotors on the rears since I had them.

That really appears to be a bad casting in the first place, For salt to move up into a layer below the surface, my thought is that the casting was contaminated and layered. Salt is the devil but there is more going on with that rotor.

Thanks for your thoughts... original from the factory.
