Brake Upgrade

I have a 95 F150 that I am looking to upgrade the stock brakes. I am looking for better rotors, calipers, and pads for the front and possibly a disk brake conversion for the rear. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Rotors and pads are easy. Powerslot rotors and either Hawk HPS or PFC Z pads. The Hawk pads are substantially cleaner but the Z pads stop better. Both are way better than stock. The Lightning used the same calipers as stock; so improved calipers aren't really all that necessary. I could not find a caliper upgrade.

Check Bronco Graveyard IIRC they have a rear disc conversion available.

Is powerslot a brand or type of rotor?

hello,

I have NO idea if the rotors/pads are interchangeable, BUT I found this while browsing the classifieds.

Why don't they have a classifieds for pre-97?

Brand new PowerSlot front brake rotors and Hawk pads. Bought for a '01 Supercrew 4x4. I no longer need them. I traded the '01 for an '05 SCrew.

$200.00 OBO

I live in So.Cal area.

Thanks for the heads up! Too bad they will not work.
