Front brake rotor options for an 02 Screw 2wd?

I'm pretty sure the brakes on the front of my Screw are hub/rotor combined. Is there any good performance rotors available for my old girl? I'm nearly metal to metal and I'd like to upgrade when I change them. Really like the EBC USR rotors, but i don't think they make them for my truck

Wagner makes excellent brake parts. I'd get their premium Thermoquiet pads and some Wagner rotors.

However, Powerstop makes some good stuff too.

I put Centric premium rotors and ceramic pads on mine, they lasted 115k.

I think Motorcraft rotors are available from rockauto. They are as good as you are going to get in my opinion. Even the so-called performance rotors say things like they start with a OE quality rotor.

If you want more braking power, there is a very expensive big brake kit for the front but you may need larger wheels for the rotors to fit.

do you have any experience with the powerstop stuff? Thinking of getting the K1915 kit for my truck but I haven't found much in the way of reviews for the evolution line

I've had the Power Stop Rotors and pads on my truck since the factory equipment wore out.
I experienced much better braking with or without pulling a 5k trailer. I got the drilled and slotted
with the Z16 pads and they worked great.

I bought a Powerstop kit, and I have it sitting in a closet still in my house.

I'm still on my original brake pads.

Probably next year I'll put them on.
