thinking about the brakes this time. they keep squeeking every time i come to a stop. should i replace the rotors and calipers? or should i just get the brake pads switched out?

 

I guess it depends on mileage, and how much you want to spend. I had a little saved up at the time so I went with pads (hawk), rotors (rotorpros), and bearings. I painted the stock calipers black, and got zinc coated/drilled rotors, now it looks reeeal good. Stops about the same as before.

 

+1 on rotorpros, great product, slotted and dimpled rotors!!!

truck has almost 52k on the clock.

im thinking about painting my calipers red but im not sure how to do it the RIGHT way

 

check them and see if they need to be replaced.

 

Powerslots and Hawk HPS Street pads from TireRack(and fresh fluid of course), done.
