Those in the link. I have 7,700 miles on them now with no noticeable pad wear on the front or back. The stopping power and heat dissipation is absolutely incredible in comparison with stock. Yanked the master cylinder and hydroboost from a 2003 F-550 for some extra brake pressure about 1,000 miles after the brake install, and this made quite a difference in response. It also has an optional adjustable proportioning valve.
The only problem with them is that they don't stop nearly as well when cold. While no brake will perform optimally when at 65 degrees, these things almost wont bite at all until warmed up. I typically just ride with the pedal about 1/2 down and give it some extra throttle down my dirt road when the truck is cold; this seems to be enough to get them to reasonably grip when I pull out onto the main roads until warm.

my buddy ispeed77 got his crossed drilled and slottted rotors right from napa. quite a bit better and way less than the oem cost, similar to napa's(raybestos) normal line cost wise.

154 in any truck or SUV is nuts. I've been 150 on a 2004 Yamaha R1 and thats fast. I also ran into one of our neighbors who just won the lottery and he took me for a 180 joy ride in his Ferrai 360 Modena, but thats a nouther story
