Upgrading pads and rotors

[Oil Field Trash]

What is everyone replacing their pads and rotors with? Truck is somewhat daily driven and pulls a GN everyweekend in the summer with my pulling truck or dune truck on it. I'd love a set of willwoods but I'm poor and there is no realistic reason that I could justify them. I just want something better than OEM.

I have been wondering the same thing.. I hear a lot of good things about the EBC kits, but do the price tags reflect proven quality and service as far as performance and warranty???

 

[Oil Field Trash]

I was watching Extreme 4x4 last weekend and Ian did a break upgrade on a 6.7L that used these. I had never heard of them until I watched him install them.

That's some good info, and that kit about half the price of the EBC's...

 

[Oil Field Trash]

Yeah but running an unknown brand has me hesitant at throwing out good money for questionable results.

Seems like they would be sold at Pepboys or Advanced.

I don't shop at either so I don't have a clue.

I have been running SP performance rotors for over 4 years on multiple trucks. Some of the other members on here have picked them up from me and had great results.

I run the ebc green or yellow pads with the Slotted and cross drilled rotors and they stop great.

Maybe we will have to do some more business then, Chris.

im about 99% sure that's the kit i bought for my 6.4. so far so great.

The EBC?

Stoptech Cryo Slotted rotors with Hawk Superduty pads, work great once warmed up, little sketchy in the dead cold of winter until they get to that point, but it doesn't take too long. One of the off-road trailers I used to move every so often has no trailer brakes and had some heavy loads on it and they never disappointed our mountain hauls. 14k+ trailer runs with proper on-road trailers and brakes and they of course have no issues either. Would do this setup again for heavy haulers but LTS pads would be what I would put family or employees with if I was staying Hawk.

I know some friends like EBC's offerings but had some noise and fitment issues on some part numbers as well. Hawk's never let me down so I went that route.

I'd say that's a little sketchy sounding in winter. But mine has be a garage queen in the winter since I first bought it.

I have the stoptech kit with EBC, With brand new OEM calipers. and I'm lifted a little bit running 35x13.50's and it stops great. No issues here. Someday I'll do Wilwood 6 Piston :naughty:

That's like my set up. 3.5" taller in front. 4" block in rear. On 35x12.50r20s then it's usually dragging a 25+5 20k PJ around.

I was gonna do a full 6-piston caliper setup on the Z06, when the time comes financially, and wayyyy after I have completed on home improvements. The truck project was enough money spent!

I had wilwoods on both my 04 mustang's. Love them. however wilwood conversions for our trucks from what i see are like $5k+ .... no thanks

I'll be hear to answer any questions you have buddy.

I will give everyone fair warning to really do research before buying rotors. There are reasons why some are in a totally different price bracket than others.

Drilled rotors especially can cause cracking, do your research is my warning.
