Got 110K on my stock pads/rotors, time to replace em. Looking into upgrades since im not a fan at all of factory stopping distance, or how the brakes even feel during heavy braking applications.

Looking into some EBC rotors/pads, seems like it'd be a good choice to go with but was curious what y'all run and like/dislike and what Mfg's you'd suggest. Truck tows our backhoe, mowers, bulk seed, etc. regularly for additional info.

Thanks,
Dave

I have the SSBC slotted with EBC pads and like them very much. Its hard to say how much better they feel over new OEM rotors as my brakes had 120k when I removed them, however I am very happy with the SSBC rotors, they are very high quality. Just be sure when you order brakes that you get rotors with the right center pilot and hat height. SSBC and EBC will show two models of rear rotors for your truck. You want the models with the taller hat height.

I have the R1 Concepts ones and there posiquiet cermaic pads. I constantly blew through the brakes.

Don't have that problem any more.

I got these ones super hot once, bad master cylinder and it didn't even phase them. Still true and not glazed at all.

I recommend them alot, and I'm pretty they are on sale right now.
