Brake rotors and pads

Any idea what I should get for a new set, found these brembos, can't beat the price, the local napa wants $102 for each rotor.

Any sugestions would be great.

I've tried, you won't get better deal on quality brake parts than you will from tirerack.
Even my friend who owns a brake shop can't get as good of a price from his wholesalers.

Brembo rotors and Hawk pads are about the best you'll find

I agree that the Brembo/Hawk combo is nigh unto impossible to beat.

I have had great luck with Porterfield brake pads (I think they are the best), but have never tried them on my truck, and I have heard reports of them delaminating under severe conditions. Not good, imo.

With the Brembo/hawk setup and the later models (2001 late and up) with 4wdb, it's hard to imagine doing much better at any reasonable price.
