Buying brake rotors & pads

Who did you buy your rotor and brake pads from? I am looking to purchase front and rear sets and was searching the forum for a good supplier to deal with.

It might narrow down the choices if you told us what set your looking for or the price range you want to spend. Each dist will probably only have 1-2 top end lines, but there are a lot of manufactures and labels available. Then there are the generics.

About 4 1/2 months ago I did the front brakes on my 2000 X. I used Raybestos Advanced Technology rotors and Raybestos Super Stop pads. They have been great. I had horrible warping issues with the stock rotors and that doesnt seem to be an issue anymore. I have about 10,000 miles on this set up and no sign of warping.

When it comes time to do brakes again Im going to try Performance Friction pads or maybe Wagner Thermo Quite ceramic pads to cut down on dust and what not. But Im very impressed with the Advanced Technology rotors and they were only a couple bucks more than standard rotors from Checker.

"Here's a recent thread with lots of info. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/86...ke-update.html "

Thanks Jester, I did read over that yesterday. The information I was looking for was on websites and stores (suppliers) that people had dealt with when buying their rotors and brake pads.

I have a 2000X which I put powerslots on the front a few years ago. Now the rear rotors are warping and the place I purchased the powerslots from is not in business any longer. So I was looking for another dealer. I ended up getting powerslot rotors and Hawk HPS pads from the Tire Rack.
