Hello, I am going to replace my rear rotors and pads on my 2007 F150 Fx4, 5.4L as I am having some braking vibration in my pedal/seat. Locally, I have an Autozone and an O'Reilly's to purchase my parts. I can't find a whole lot of info regarding customer ratings for any of the rotors that I'm looking for, so I thought I would reach out to you all for your opinions. I don't want the cheap pads, but I also don't want to spend too much $ to do this. I am currently looking at the following: Duralast Gold/Brake Rear Rotors ($54 a piece) and Bosch QuietCast Rotors ($65 a piece). These are both the mid-range rotors that I would like to move forward with (or stop with...depending on how you look at it...ha ha ha). Has anyone used either of these and what are your thoughs on them? Also, any recommendations on pads? Thank you very much!

 

Get the Centric(or Powerstop if you want "performance") rotors and whatever pads suit your fancy. Centric makes Powerstop as their performance brand. You can usually find them cheapest at rockauto.com, around $55/piece. The rear rotors don't do more than about 35% of the braking at best, so don't think that going for performance stuff is going to help much.

 

Stay away from Duratrash. Centric makes good replacement stuff. Stoptech/Powerstop are goood slotted rotors.
