Brake upgrades
Well after 8 years of fighting my ABS system I finally fixed it. (Broken wire above the rear diff)
I'm hoping to make my truck stop quicker but I'm not sure about how to about it but here's what I do know.
Pads: Hawk SD pads are what a lot of the Super Duty and Excursion guys run and have had good experiences with them.
Rotors: I'm up in the air about them other then drilled rotors have a better chance of cracking if overheated.
I know there are brake kits out there but usually they need at least a 18 inch wheel to fit I like my 16 incher's and don't want to spend a lot on wheels.
Also I have (I think) rear wheel ABS if that helps any.
