When I had mine, I went with powerslot cyro slotted rotors and hawk hps pads and the truck would do 100 to 0 like it was nothing. When I get another one I'm doing that set up again.

Not sure how bad your breaks are now...mine were jacked!!

I didnt know what to get either.....i ended up just reusing my rotors (cut them ofcourse) i purchased the most expensive pads from autozone and new bearings......

now the L stops better then before!

i will purchased aftermarket pads/rotors in the future after more research....

Where can i buy these items? I'm having a hard time locating the rotors and lines.

Any direct links to online shops for the right products?

I just did my fronts last week, I changed mine out at 38k so my rotors didn't need to be cut or replaced. I went with the Hawk HPS and they are noticeably more responsive over the factory pads. I've been told the HPS' dust like crazy, but I haven't noticed much of a difference.

BillsSnake: How hard was it to bleed to SS lines? I helped a friend do SS lines on his car and it was a nightmare to get all of the air out of the SS lines. I'm hoping we did something wrong because I really want to do SS lines but I do not want to go through those headaches again.

For bleeding brakes the best thing you can do is get a Motive Products bleeder.

Makes bleeding brakes a breeze and to also replace all the old brake fluid.
