Rotors and Pads
 

My brakes on my 2000 PSD are less then 50% so I am going to replace them, I would like to go with slotted and cross drilled rotors...Do any of you have any input on what rotors and pads to use? I do pull a 35' Fifth Wheel, otherwise just daily driving.

i have the powerslot rotors on mine and ceramic pads all the way around, made a HUGE difference i'll never go back to a stock rotor and pad, its well worth the money to do the rotors and ceramic pads, especially if you have chrome wheels :tu:

Did you change out the rear rotors as well?

I have been searching the internet and it seems that there is a wide variety of prices for rotors. Should I assume that if the price is less expensive, the rotors are generally not very good? I found this website:

Performance Brake Components for Ford Super Duty and Excursion Vehicles From Wheeler's Off-Road

Anyone have any suggestions other than "Power Slot", I am not opposed to the Power Slots, I am trying to look at all options. I am unable to differentiate between brands and the metal being used for the Rotors...I am definitely using ceramic pads, and I am also thinking of just changing the front rotors and NOT the backs at this time, good idea? Or, bad idea?

I just ordered mine form here Brake Rotors Discs Pads Brakes Cross Drilled & Slotted they recomended going with the dimped and slotted not the drilled becasue of the weight of the truck. Also they come with free basic pads. They said not to go with the ceramic pads because again of the weight of the truck and the heat the would create.

SUUUUUUUUUBSCRIBING.... i would like to see some more opinions as well

Well here's the deal...I ordered the dimpled/slotted rotors from Brake Performance. As I was contemplating the purchase, a pop up came up on the screen and gave me a code to save an additional $40, well that pretty much paid for the ceramic upgrade for the pads...New Rotors and Pads on the way...also bought a G38R Turbo a TS Chip and dual steering stabilizer...the $$$ goes fast when working on a Diesel and SpynTec's Unit Bearing Conversion.

Dang, man. You've got a lot of life left in the brakes. Unless there's something going on (cracked/thickness variation/warpage), why are you replacing so soon?

I said less than 50% as a ballpark figure, when I had a speed sensor go out a year ago, I noticed the brakes were right at 50%, so saying they are less than 50% is a guess-tamation, I figure they are way more worn then a year ago and since I am going to install the unit bearing conversion, it's a good time to do the brakes. I'm gonna be doing a lot of towing as well. I had the brakes done in 2004 after owning the truck for four years, now it's seven years later and when I go to brake the truck pulls to the right slightly, so I want to get that fixed as well. Otherwise, I agree that 50% is a lot of brake left.

yeah i did all 4, powerslot is all i've ever ran? i liked em so i didn't see a need to change lol

Has anyone ever used rotordepot or 360 performance rotors? I need new brakes and I've looked at powerslot, ebc, powerstop etc but thought I'd try drilled and slotted rotors from rotordepot. Ceramic pads vs metallic for a full size truck?
