Question about brakes!

Do we have drum brakes in the rear? i remember hearing that a while back regarding the parking brake. So - if we do this set would not work correct?

eBay Motors: Ford F250 F350 99 00 01 02 03 04 Brake Rotors Pads F&R (item 260201609957 end time May-08-08 11:58:44 PDT)

What are your thoughts on this guys products? Cheap? Avoid?

Any suggestions on brake products would help. Im on a tight budget

Thanks

We have disc breaks in the rear I am pretty sire. The parking break is a drum if I remember correctly. I will go outside and check in a few minutes and see for sure.

Yup, thats the part that i was a little confused about - and they dont offer rotor up front drum in the back kits. So i assume they are all rotor's

They go QUICK too. They started grinding yesterday around noon and ive driven maybe 30 miles and it sounds like they are down to the metal connectors

Did you get that link on ebay? I think thats what im going to go with. The cheapest setup i came up with is from autozone - $45 for front and rear pads and $140 for front and rear rotors. Dont know how good those are, if its an extra $50 or so - id rather spend it. We do alot of towing for work and id rather pay for added safety (that would come outta my DP tuner and BTS fund

Jason's right. 4 wheel disc brakes with a tiny little drum in the center for the parking brake. You can replace the 4 sets of pads on the discs without messing with the parking brake.
