Does anyone have advice on good aftermarket front brake rotors and pads.
Look'n to upgrade from OEM.

Thanks

 

I don't know about the rotors but I've always used Carbon Metalic pads.
Good stopping power, great feel & they don't funk up your wheels with brake dust like some pads do. JMO

 

I have not persoanlly used them but have heard from others that they are very nice. Try looking at EGR Brakes

Put Porterfield Carbon-Kevlar street pads on mine recently. Between them and the one-ton rear cylinders it stops a whole lot quicker now.

Site is down right now so try later.

 

Try www.discbrakesrus.com. I got a great deal on a set of brakes for my Mustang delivered to my front door, and I know they sell brakes for Dodge Rams.

 

Has anyone else had to replace rotors at 45k miles. Most of the miles are highway.....

 

EGR brakes are good, maybe great, but they are expensive too. Raybestos make a severe duty rotor called SUPER STOP SEVERE DUTY, they are very heavy cross drilled and gas slotted. All the performance of a big high dollar system, about half the cost.ST56324R, and ST56324L are the part numbers. You can go they there hp pads, or any one elses.

I just put brakes and a resurface on the front end at 32,700...n' they were probably close to 1500 miles past from where they should have been done... > The backs are at 80% however... ???

 

here's another place to look into
frozenrotors.com
they are cryo frozen & come in sloted , cross drilled or both
& should last longer than standard steel
at least they do on my 911 S/C racer
