Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
For those of us that hate the stock brakes... .....
I've recently upgraded my front brakes with some KVR Performance parts and thought some might be interested in these parts.
I have spent hours searching for upgrades and ran into many walls. It's somewhat difficult to find alternatives to stop a 1 ton 6x6. One of the well known companies would only sell their whole kit, at to me, a very hefty price. So search I did. I finally found KVR Performance and talked with Gary. He was very informative and helpful.
To make a long story short, I ended up purchasing some slotted rotors, carbon pads, and some Dot 5. 1 fluid for much less than I've seen advertised elsewhere. They have more expensive rotors and pads than what I bought. But, for the amount of towing and the driving I do, I figured these would be fine.
After a couple hours of installation (the OEM rotors were really rusted on after 81k miles), I followed their instructions for proper break-in.
Testing the brakes for the first time made me glad I was wearing my seat belt! All I can say is the brakes rock! High pedal, no fade, decreased stopping distance, better feel.
I've had these brakes on for about a month now and I'm happy to report the braking hasn't changed. Still fantastic.
If your in the need of brakes, you may want to give them a try. Here's a link to their website... ... .....
