IMO, if you can afford it definetly go with the best rotors you can. Not even slotted, but get a good "performance" rotor.

I stay away from ceramic pads, expecially with new rotors. I clean my rims every time I wash my truck so brake dust never really bothers me. The reason I dont do ceramics is because they can chew up your rotors pretty bad, and if you just purchased rotors its kind of like wasting money. Again, just my .02 so dont shoot me anyone.

The next pads I buy will be the "Green Stuff" ones ..... Ive heard good things about them on countless forums and they sell them on alot of websites like airram, autoanything, and truckcustomizers.

LOL, so some ppl still remember me hahahaha. I've been soo busy with work and school... and too poor to do any mods... so I've been off the site for some time... hehe...


But now that I'm all gradumatated with a Degree... and a full time job... I kinda... sorta have more time to be on the forum... so hopefully as long as things don't get too hectic in my life again I'll be a familiar face again...


Now all I have to do is update my sig... cuz man it doesn't have a lot of my mods... :-D
