Brakes

Hello all, new here and first question. I have a 2008 XSP with 200k+ miles. In need of brake rotors and pads. Looking for recommendations, many of the aftermarket discs warp too easy. Looking for a good set to hopefully ride out the final years of my truck

 

Stoptech and Centric premiums (rotors) are readily available on Amazon, buybrakes.com etc. Both make about as good of an OEM replacement as you’re gonna find.

Id stick with OEM or Hawk pads.

Some of the zinc coated, “power” brands that came straight out of a sweatshop in SE Asia have a spotty track record, but even still, you’ll find people swearing by them.

Buy once, cry once.

 

StopTech Sport Cryo treated rotors from AutoAnything. Get the slotted only. Don't get the drilled and slotted...they are known to pulsate. I had PowerStops and they were terrible.

 

I’ve got car quest platinum that seem to be fine. I chose those based on shipping costs last year (store pickup) and shipped in the powerstop towing pads.

 

Check out BrakeMotive on eBay

I’ve had good luck with 4 sets

 

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

 

I like OEM stock.
Just had my 2014 SR5 pads replaced and rotors turned at the dealership a few weeks ago @80K miles.
Runs like it did new...

 

It is very important to use a torque wrench when you put the wheels back on. This helps keep rotors from warping. Don't rely on a torqued gun, use the wrench and torque to specs.
