For rotors I personally prefer Napa's cross-drilled and slotted rotors, I put those on my integra and they worked excellently. Got to drive a few other people's with much more expensive ones and you couldn't tell a difference but your wallet definitely can. I may try upgrading the pads and rotors though, hadn't thought of it. I can tell you that at least for cars EBC's pads reputation is excellent.

haha, ive bought a lot of **** lately guys, but its slowly winding down...after i went outside to see how much i could see my running/brake lights with the covers on i was very surprised....they can be seen relatively well when the lamps are turned on...i was afraid of being pulled over and given a ticket till just now...i was thinking i should have waited to get the fire&ice bar before putting them on, but i was wrong....i will still get that led bar (and i cant decide if i should pull the brake bulbs out of the tials when i do), but it can wait a few weeks...i definately want to buy some zaino before i go to school and start savin so i have money for the tm leveling kit and blistien shocks (which wont be cheap)...also, id like some overload springs or something for the rears since i tow a lot....were talkin a lot of money now....and i have to start savin more for durring school...and every day i hear "i thought you werent going to mod this truck" or "when are you going to be done" or "youll never get your $ out of it" ect as something new comes in the mail...i jsut tell them how i have saved a lot of money and am not spending it all till im broke, (im not that dumb, in my checking i make sure i always have atleast 800-1k + and in my savings, well i got more than my firehawk when my gpa died (which that may have come out bad, but i would give it all up to have him back, he was my fav, still is), but i dont touch that $ and thats noyb really) and that atleast i spend it on this instead of drinking or smoking ect ect...thats how i make doing this logical to myself...kids my age usually spend money on partying, well, id rather do this and spend time with my gf and if i do go to a party, well i dont drink or anything (not that its wrong, its just my choice)...ok, off rant...but i dont think im going to gamble on this one french....thanks anyway though guys

I agree completely with you there Drew!!!!

Never thought about that one... if my parents keep bugging me about spending money on the truck, I can be like hey, look, at least I'm spending it on something that'll last.... would you rather me go out and buy vodka and start smoking? Cuz I dunno about y'all but.... at about 12 dollars a day up here for 2 packs of smokes (I work at a gas station and sell cigs all day long) it'd take two weeks to save up for some nice things for the truck..

Well lets see here, as I told Jimmy boy last night, I'm going on 16 months of owning the truck, and have only got just over 13,000 miles.... it costs me like 80 bucks a month to drive the truck.... plus the monthly payments and insurance but still.... if I had a 70 dollar a week habit, I wouldn't be driving this thing... that's for sure....

ya gas does suck, but honestly, besides my phone, thats my only payment so its not so bad...i do a lot of driving for my dads shop, and if i use a lot of gas ill get reinburst for that, and im always doing something...i mean shoot, i get sad everytime i look at my odometer...ive had the truck like 10 months and have 20k miles? ill tell you this, when my engine goes out, i will def be replacing it rather than getting a new truck...i did get a 100k warrenty though, maybe it will blow at 98k? and maybe by then they will replace the 4.7 with something larger
