Well my brakes are starting to squeak and the rear rotors aren't looking to good anymore (deep grooves on one). I already know that I want to go with a set of Thermo-Quiets all the way around, but I don't know about rotors. I don't want to spend a lot on OEM or even high performance rotors. Are there any rotors out there that are the same quality as OEM but not as much?

 

Get them turned (around $20).

It'll be cheaper than new rotors, but new "low-buck" rotors are only $10-20 more...

 

yes i would also suggest getting them turned. Did mine about a month ago, took them off and brought them to my local mechanic and it only cost $10 per rotor.

 

i disagree on turning.

it seems on f150s, and fords in general, that once a stock rotor is turned it causes the rotor to be even more weak and prone to warping.

get a decent set of slotted rotors.

That's why I'm trying to stay away from having them turned. I can't stand that warped rotor feeling when braking. Any brands you recommend?

 

get a set of reactive one powerslot rotors and adaptive one ceramic brake pads. it is a great setup, got it on mine about 3 weeks ago and it stops my 35's so much better.

 

Yeah I put on some slotted rotors all around from ebay....brakemotiv i think his name was. I paid short money for all 4 with pads. They're zinc coated so they wont rust which is nice.

Good luck

 

I'm about to buy the slotted and dimpled rotors from Brake-Performance. Literally am just moments from adding to cart. My front left rotor is shot to hell with deep grooves, so doing my front brakes before doing the entire system + a bleed and stainless lines.

Power Slot and Brake Performance are excellent choices for profit, and quality product from my weeks of research. Drilled will crack eventually and cheese grate your pads, slotted will help with stopping and be more forgiving to the pads but not as much as OEM style ones. Dimpled gives the drilled look but not the cracking. Trucks that dont run down the track, have no business with drilled.

Slotted & dimpled ftw.
