I just got my new brake rotors for the the front and new ceramic pads. These rotors are dimple drilled and slotted and have a lifetime warranty against warping so I figured I would try them out and soon upgrade the rears as well. I never in my life ever tried to change brakes so I may take it somewhere. The pads didn't come with any grease for the back of the pads, should they require some?Anyways here are the pics, the reason I chose these is because the drilled ones are drilled all the way through while these dimple drilled ones are barely drilled and are about 1/4-1/2 drilled through and are claimed to be structurally stronger.

 

What brand are they? Part number? Where did you buy them? How much where they?

I'll be doing a brake job on my truck soon... Just trying to get some information.

thanks!

 

Here's where I got them from http://brakeperformance.com/site/bra...0909&ad=google and during checkout you can upgrade the brake pads to ceramic for an additional $10.

 

I gonna have to look into this. Im on my second set of warped rotors. Cant figure it out

 

Yeah, mine 's been warped for awhile and got to the point that I've been driving my other truck because the vibration had gotten so bad. Felt like something was gonna bust apart if I hit the brakes too hard.

 

The best preventative medicine you can do to not have warped rotors is to make sure the lug nuts are torqued to spec, in your case 150 ftlbs. Uneven torque on the lug nuts will cause rotors to warp, every time.

 

also splashin through puddles will kill a rotor 10X faster than over torqued lugs.


your wife also may warp rotors during normal driving conditions....

post up more pics, I may want to get a set...

 

If you have a 2WD do you need to buy the bearings and seals separately? Their descriptions says "Rotor Only" so I'm guessing this is true?

NOTE: I just emailed the company as well, just posting in case anyone knows off the top of their heads.

 

If you have a 2WD looks like you need to order "FORD F150 (TWO WHEEL DRIVE) 2006 Base Payload Package, 6 Lug (Front Rotor Hub & Disc)"

Comes out to $276.18 (hub, disc, tax) for both front wheels including ceramic pads. I just placed my order, looking like 1 week ETA due to not being in stock currently.

Looking forward to getting them on

 

Those look like the wrong rotors to me for the front. I just got some for my 06 and they came with the bearings in them.

 

That is for 2wd. 4wd vehicles do not have the bearings in the rotor since they have an IWE.

 

Just dropped the truck off to get them installed and will take pics and write updates of them after I get a few hundred miles on them.

 

So how did they work out?!?!?!

Pictures?

 

I had them put on and since I drove it afterwards, oh man, it is night and day difference. The vibration is totally eliminated and I had the shop torque the wheels down so they were all the same torque specs and it has been super quiet so far also with no squeeking and they look alot better on the truck even though I have 17'' rims, it's the subtle details that I prefer. I'm gonna upgrade the rears in a month or so just to balance the look out.

any more pictures of them that are not so close?
