In need of a brake job.

[ARARAR]

110,000 miles and it's time to do a complete repalcemnt of the front disc syst. (rotors/calipers/pads). Who has the best OEM or equilvilent replacemnt parts for this DIY project? P. S. no, I am not a "NAS TRUCK" driver so I don't need any Hi-tech big dollar replacemnts: just some good solid parts w/o going to the dealer. Any and all suggestions will be welcome. This is for a 98. 5 (8800 gvwr).

Call and talk to TDR member Sam Peterson of Rapid Stop Brakes in Olympia WA. Telephone 360 357 4958



He will give you 30 years of brake experience and sells quality material for a VERY fair price. He sells high quality brake pads that beat the local shop product.

While you may not be a"Nascar Truck driver", you still might enjoy good, solid brakes. Raybestos has just about everything you need to complete the job. If you are in deed going to do a through job of it, for very little more then it would cost stock, you can have a much better braking system. Think about it, and look around, Blinder are only necessary on horses.

I have run Raybestos premium pads and then Sam Peterson's brand and Sam's where a better match for my truck, much quieter, long pad life, good rotor life and decent fade charicteristics.
