    I am pulling a 28' jayco camper. My brakes are tost and the rotors are warped and pads wore out. Want to upgrade to better performance. Kinda leaning towards Dynamic Friction ultimate Performance pads and rotors. Anyone had these before? What did you switch to?

    Never heard of them...

    What are you currently running? OE pads and rotors have served me well in the past. I tow weekly.

    I'm still thinking about getting them also. It seems like the further they get worn down they are not working as well.

    The best brake setup possible for towing…. You shoulda jumped on the Alcon group buy last month.

    There are a lot of brake upgrades available, but you asked for the best. I’ve never experienced brakes on a Tundra that are like these. Pricey, but I believe they may be the best.

    When I bought mine, they did offer a Responder discount.

    I envy those with the Alcons.

    I'm rolling the Stoptech Cryo treated rotors and Hawk LTS (green) pads. Rotors are great. Pads could be better, but if you can heat them up, they do bite well. They do shower everything with dust and aren't quiet.

    Likely going back to stock pads.
