[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 8712919, member: 11681"] [B][SIZE="5"]NO!!! [/SIZE][/B]in the the OEM sizing you have less area for pad contact. As you can imagine,this does matter much more than trying to turn an F150 into a Ferrari with ducted brake cooling. The only argument viable for the drilled rotors is bling factor. The only 99 f150s with brake cooling issues seem to be Lightnings that are tracked hard by seasoned drivers. The Ls come with Navi/Expedion pads and rotors, a slightly larger more capable brake. Ceramic pads are a great performing low dust choice, shop them, don't need to spend a ton of money to get a very nice pad. The [I][B][U]bed in procedure[/U][/B][/I] and proper rotor prep are critical. Carbotech has a write up [url]http://www.ctbrakes.com/[/url] , it is always more memorable when some explains why we are doing this, not just ........[B][I]do this[/I][/B] [url=http://www.ctbrakes.com/faqs.html]Carbotech Performance Brakes: Frequently Asked Questions[/url] By the way, I believe your rotors are rotors and hubs, that is one of the reasons they are a little more money. Make sure you price the Motorcraft version of these rotors at your dealer or local outlet.
