I had heard good things about the rotors from rotorpros and decided to give them a try. All 4 were $300 shipped and the Ford pads were about $100 a set. I was going to use the Motorcraft pads but was told by my buddy in parts that the original ones were superior to the Motorcraft ones.

Stopping is awesome and brake dust is almost non existant.

Here are some pics and yes the truck will get lowered next week. Roush kit was left on my front door last week (Thanks Chickenears!).

I also decided to paint the calipers but went with a different approach on the front calipers and only painted the calipers and left the bracket satin black.

Looks awesome, I am a big beliver in the stock pads

 

Don
Why is that ??
Dale

 

Guess I am too. I tried a couple of different pads. Some stopped good, but make dust and noise, some don't make dust or noise but won't stop for nothing! Stock pads are a good balance.

 

Very nice, I might take your paint idea. But I'll stay up in Albuquerque, so I wont steal your thunder.

 

No big deal. I got the idea from looking at the brakes on a Bullitt and 10th anniversary Cobra. They leave the bracket black and paint only the caliper red. It gives it a more factory appearance in my opinion. Painting everything red is a bit much.

 

Do you have a part number for those pads to make sure the right ones are bought. TIA

 

I agree with too much red, when the whole thing is painted it looks fake I think. Like a big glob of bubble gum, lol. I'm glad you posted this, I would've never thought of it. thanx

 

Looks awsome...I ordered the rotorpros rotors a few weeks ago. How long did it take you to get them? Mine were supposed to be here on Saturday but FedEx Home delivery did not show up. I had them send out a "trace" on the packages but I have yet to get an update. Looks like FedEx Home gets today off since yesterday was a Holiday and they are not open on Mondays. They only work Tues to Fri. I'm starting to get worried. I ordered the Hawk pads, I've got the truck sitting in my garage on jack stands waiting for the rotors... :-( Did you put in new wheel bearings or reuse the old ones? I repacked (by hand) the old ones...they looked good to me. However, I got new hub seals and dust caps. I could not get the hub seal out without tearing it up.

I see you went with slotted and drilled...I hope you don't have any of the same issues some of the others had with them cracking...hate to give you that news but be aware...If you do some searching...some people had them crack on them.

Good luck...looks AWSOME!!!
Jim

 

yea part numbers would be great. I don't like my new pads at all.

 

I know the cracking issues that are present with drilled rotors but for the price, I can replace them every year. Lets see how my luck goes.... Got them within a week after ordering and he even e-mailed me a tracking number. Mine were also shipped Fed Ex.

Part number for the fronts is F75Z-2001-AA

For the rear: XL3Z-2200-AA

Part numbers are taken off the box. The fronts are just pads and the rears are pads and slippers or the metal guides that go on the caliper bracket. Had to clean and reuse the front metal guides.

No complaints so far but I'll be the first to let you know if I get any problems.

 

So, how do the Hawk HPS pads compare to stock. I would like pros/cons so I can make my own determination. Conside that I will use them for alittle hard roadracing.

 

Looks Great!! Thats a mod i would like to do soon. Im also a firm believer on ford pads. In all my fords the ford pads have blown away aftermarket.Some by as much as 30,000 miles on my diesel setup!!!
