Blacklight.....thanks anyway, but I don't want a new brake kit, just new pads and rotors.

Anyone?? I've tried Powerslot rotors--None. GTrotors--None.

I'm still looking though

GT Rotors doesn't make rotors for the L, but they will dimple a set of genuine Ford rotors. I talked to them a while back, but didn't get as far as asking about a price. I've had too much trouble with stock Ford truck brakes to want to remove material from mine.

Drilled Rotor (dimpled and plated rotors, improve braking) $199.00 ea.

Seems kinda high, but I've never purchased items like this.

slotting, dimpling, drilling are only for looks anymore.

Go to Autozone and get a set of Performance Friction pads. Lifetime guarantee and better braking.

And shoot 'em with high-heat paint to get rid of the rust look... there have been a number of posts on painting rotors.

Question Slotted or cross-drilled rotors??

Anybody know where I can get either of these for our trucks?? I'm sick of the rusted looking, poor performing brakes of ours. I don't really want to go with a completely new brake system, just thought some good rotors and pads would help.

Thanks.
