    My best experience is with OEM. My worst experience is with NAPA.

    TRD BBK if your wheels are big enough

    what are TRD BBK? Since I have Method Roosts and St Maxx's on my truck, my stopping power has reduced by some margin. Would like to get something like R1 slotted rotors and pads. Have any of you had those?

    The stock ones are good but once you get lifted and some wheels they aren’t so good

    For better stopping power, a more aggressive pad compound like Hawk LTS or EBC green will help. The stock rotors and calipers are plenty.

    all jokes aside. i just put on ebc sport rotors with their yellow stuff pads. definite improvement. initial bite is not so much but once put pressure on the pedal and they start to grab... truck comes to a stop in a hurry.

    Got EBC green pads & rotors on my 11 RW crewcab last year, improved pedal feel, stopping ability, less dust than OEM, & reasonably priced!
