Question Rotors
Ok, everyone. What kind of front and rear brake rotors should I get for a 2000 Ford Explorer, 5.0?

If you don't get Ford/Motorcraft you're risking squeal.

I you get cheap ones, I suggest you get them turned before installing.

Are you looking for regular rotors, slotted, slotted/drilled?

I, too am in need of rotors...except for a 99 4.0 sohc. From what I've been reading, you definitely get what you pay for. Does anyone have good/bad experiences with the premium raybestos?

If you can find a shop with a on car brake lathe it could save the head ache of the annoying sqeal.

The on car lathe cuts the rotor in the actual angle of the front end of the car which makes the cut perfect for the car. It is the best lathe I have ever used.
I have a buddy that is a mechanic for the City and he uses it on all the Cop cars.

I brought some other cheap kind of rotors for my 2001 EB within a month or so I was screaming everytime i hit the brakes. My best bet to go with Motorcraft or Ford OEM brand

I have always had good luck with Napa rotors and pads. Just put a set on my 02 Explorer, Squeak free.
