Pad and Rotors - what's everyone using?

Hey fishtizzy, I noticed in your sig you've got an SR5. You're probably aware, but the Sport and (I think most) Limiteds have larger rotors/calipers.

If you're looking for an upgrade it's definitely worth considering if you haven't already. But, it requires 17" wheels...

Here's a recent post on the subject:

Yes definitely. I guess I'm only looking to upgrade rotor and pad quality. For what we use it for (mainly a DD) I cant justify adding in the cost of calipers too - plus I'm almost 99% sure she has the 5-star 16's. Thanks though and good looking out.

EBC rotors and "green stuff pads". Yellow's squeal a bit, dust a lot, but brake even harder.

Fill out your signature line- what year and model truck? Two different sized front rotors- SR5's have the little ones.

I ended up ordering EBC dimpled and slotted sport rotors and 6000s all around and will replace everything this weekend. I also ordered a Power Bleeder, I want to flush and replace the entire system with fresh brake fluid. I have read people struggling with the Power Bleeder system - any experience with it? Thanks again for the advice.

Anyone have recommendations for brake fluid or just go with off the shelf?
 
I just did rotors and pads last weekend. 2005 sport edition... and that night I felt like a had wrestled a bear. The model numbers are for the bigger rotors on the sport edition. The pic shows the left side rotors in box.

Centric: Power Slot
126.44127SL
126.44127SR
126.44128SL
126.44128SR

Front Pads: EBC Brakes DP6993 6000 Series Greenstuff Truck and SUV Brake Pad
Back Pads: EBC Brakes DP71657 7000 Series Greenstuff SUV Supreme Compound Brake Pad

If it helps, I did a lot of searching on this, most folks are running Centric, EBC or OEM... and all kinds of combinations of pads. Really just depends on how much money you want to spend.

Thanks for the heads-up, good looking out.:thumb:
 
Update: Now have a little over 18k miles on the EBC Green Stuff pads and the dealership is stating I have 6mm left all around? Mixed drving, mostly highway and weekend trips in and out of the mountains until 8/14. Anyone know how thick these were initially? Can't find specs on EBC site. I would imagine specs to be different between front and rears.
 
I didnt read all the older posts so forgive me of this has been said.
I run HAWK HPS pads and Powerslot Slotted rotors on everything I own, including my 4th gen, my project pre-runner fast desert romper and finally my Dodge Charger SRT8. All my vehicles get "Driven" and they stop on a dime...
