Default New Rotor and Pad Help

I'm looking to put on new rotors and pads on my truck. It's an 05' 1500 that has been leveled and I'm running 33" Mud Terrain tires. I've been hearing that Hawk and EBC (red) pads are the way to go and slotted rotors. Any information would be great. Thanks.

Rob

Just don't confuse those with POWERSLOT wich is a well reputable name in the brake industry. I would go for the Cryogenic Powerslot rotrs personally.

i read the ad you linked. They say "large drilled holes" too large of holes causes cracking FYI. Not sure how "large" they relly are?

On a side note...I did buy cheapo rotrs off Ebay for my muswtang a few years back. beat the F'in **** outta them and never had one problem. On a truck that is much heavier??? i dunno unless the metal is utmost quality which is the big difference between brand names. metal strength and thickness.
AIRRAM has got descent prices on brakes as well as Moe's performance does too.

I like the EBC rotors and pads. That's what'll be going on my truck when it's time (soon)
