I did powerstop slotted rotors up front, with ceramic pads

Also replaced rear pads because they were toast after 62,000 miles w/ light towing



rotors were fine tho, so they were left alone

Nice, I'm looking to do the same to my 02' soon. With my lift and larger tires, I think slotted rotors are the way to go.

Why didn't you get your rear rotors turned?

Slotted are higher performance then stock spec, and will look better once i get my wheels.

Zair, the rear rotors looked just fine, no need to turn them unless there was warping issue IMO. I know i could have had them resurfaced, but like i said they seemed fine to me.
