I'm looking for recommendations for slotted rotors for the front on an 02 SuperCrew. I've looked at a few brands but would appreciate personal opinions on a product you've used.

 

Just bought the Poweslots, have yet to put them on. I have two friends that have them, one on a Pontica GTP, and the other on an F150. Both forced me to buy them, they more than recommended them. I will give an update to the forum after they are installed.

 

I too have looked at PowerSlots. May I ask where you purchased yours?

 

I don't have them, but found them for $186/pair at www.truckperformance.com for 4wd F-150's.

 

Hello KingRanch,
Please let me know how the brakes turn out. I need new rotors and am holding out until i know for sure what direction to go.


GearHead,
Just curious, how do you like the new BFG 285/70/17's. I have a set on order but am wondering how much performance lost I will see on the road. Hopefully, off road they should be better. Currently I have Cooper LT265/70/17's.



Thanks for your help!

 

I noticed no real down side to the 285's except for a firmer ride which I actually prefer. I've got a few mods on the truck and the horse power wasn't an issue. Mine has always had very respectible mileage. I've liked BFG's for years, I would put them on most any truck.

 

Thanks GearHead!

Do you have the 5.4 engine? Also which differential does your truck have, the 3.55 or the 3.73?

Thanks again for your help!

 

GearHead,
Forgot to tell you but that's one sharp truck.

Thanks again!

 

Thank you, I appreciate the kind remarks. It has a 5.4 and 3.55 gears.

 

GearHead,

By the way, what other mods have you done? I'm just curious in case i need more juice once the new shoes go on.

Thanks,

 

Most of the usual bolt ons. Chipped (SuperChip), electric fans (Durale), underdrive pullies, FIPK (AirForce 1), larger injectors (24# Ford), 90mm MAF (Ford), larger capacity fuel pump (255 lph), headers (JBA), high flow cats, cat back system (JBA/K&N)), shift kit (Transgo) and a few other little tweaks. I added a rear sway bar and a set of RSX Ranchos also. I would highly recommend the sway bar.

 

Just to muddy the waters a little bit..... Today I bought EBC Slotted/Dimpled rotors and EBC 6000 brake pads. They were $186 for the rotors and $59 for the pads. I ran EBC on my motorcycle and loved them, so I hope that they will be just as good on the truck. I should have them mounted by the weekend (unless the Brown truck gets lost) and I can give a report afterwards.

Wooke,

Looking forward to hearing your comments (and pics) on the new brakes.

 

I have posted my comments and pics here EBC Brakes if you are still interested.

I purchased a set of poer stop rotors with vgx pads for the front of my 99 regular cab 4x4 5.4 about 3 months ago. Seem to be wearing fine and better peddle response for sure over the stock i purchased them at summit racing for 125.00 a rotor and the pads i think were 50.00 only complaint is the clip for the vgx is to big and takes a little fabricating or else it rubs good luck hope this helps
