Default suggestions for new Rotors and Pads??

I have 37" mudders on my truck and live at 10,300 feet in the mountains so none the less I brake a lot! I have the original pads, but have had the rotors turned twice already! I would like to put some drilled/slotted rotors on my truck and am not sure if there is any brands out there that are above and beyond the rest! I also don't want pads that are just going to chew up the rotors and/or just end up squeeking all the time! Any suggestions???????????????


Thanks,

Nick

I usually just use blank rotors from autozone...they're good quality but cheap enough to replace instead of turning. If you get "performance" rotors just get the slotted version...i've seen drilled rotors crack from hole to hole. I've had good luck with Powerslot http://www.powerslot.com/index.htmlin the past...they also offer cryo treated rotors which will last a lot longer.

My brakes use to squeak on my SRT with lots of dust. Put on Performance Friction pads, all fixed.
