I cannot advise on rotors, but I went with the EBC Greenstuff brake pads and have been very happy with them. If you want even more stopping power, EBC makes a Yellowstuff compound (only for the fronts of our trucks currently) that has an even higher coefficient of friction. Also, in the Greenstuff line, they make a 7000 series (severe duty pad) for the fronts on our trucks, and you end up coupling it with a 6000 series for the rear.



I ordered mine from Autopartswarehouse.com, part #s are below:



EBC Greenstuff Brake Pads

FRONTS

JRothgit,



Check out the Powerslot cyro'ed rotors and the Hawk pads, excellent combo. Customers like LOtero are right, the difference is well worth the cost in shorter stopping distances and no fade!! Best non HP mod I ever made to my truck!

How many miles did you get out of the stockers?

Unless you have damaged the stock rotors you shouldn't need to replace them... . if your not having problems with the pedal pulsing... . and they are not scored... . clean and flush the calipers, check the boots and replace the pads...

im with mark, and my brother will be contacting you soon. i just checked the pads yesterday and there is hardly any wear! they stop my truck amazingly. believe me when i say i tried the stock stuff for a long time, but these are a world of difference. one thing you may want to consider is that i have a 2000 which has rear drums so its a lil different setup.
