Hello
I have a 03 super crew f150 and the oem front brakes have warped again. I am just starting my search for replacement rotors and pads. Has anyone found that "perfect" combination. I dont know if I should get cross drilled, cross drilled and slotted or just slotted.

tx for look'n

yes!
Brembo OEM replacement rotors (no slotted, no holes, straight up disk) and Hawk LTS pads....i have them on all four wheels on my 01 and i love them.

 

I'll second no drill/slot, but the rest would depend on budget and drive type. Baer makes some really nice kits, SSBC has some nice calipers, and Performance friction makes the best set of stock replacement rotors I have held. DBA also makes some nice rotors. Anything directional will be better than OEM.

Just remember to bed the rotors and depending on pad selection, some need to be burned in. Performance Friction doesn't, and their Z-rated pads are very nice.

Just for some back ground. I have used powerslot/autospecialities for a while (10 years). I also have hawk pads right now. However, I have a request in for Performance friction rotors and Z-rated pads, my PF rep is working on it for me.

Thanks for the help, I have read that some people have heard some grinding noise with drilled/slotted. I am trying to stay under 400.00 for new rotors and pads. What do you think about cryo-genic (sp?)treated rotors?
