Hey guys, I need some advice. I swapped out the (front) pads on my 2005 4x4 for Porterfields at 23,000 miles to cut down on the clouds of dust. Although they didn’t eliminate it, they reduced it to a tolerable level and gave me more stopping power. Unfortunately, all that energy had to go somewhere and the extra heat generated by that improved braking is now starting to warp my front rotors at 37,000 miles.

I’m going to replace the pads with a new set of Porterfields, but I can’t seem to find my favorite Brembo stock replacement rotors anywhere. I had great luck with them on previous trucks and really don’t want to go the slotted / drilled rotor route. Any suggestions? Thanks.

 

Try ebay, but really a stock would be fine. The best pad I find for everyday stuff is the Carquest branded, Raybestos made pads that are light ford blue painted, don't get the gold, twice as much $$$ and squeeling after 10 000 km's twice. The blue pads allow me to go forever without washing the rims and even then it's minimal. I would say stopping was improved too a little. I also replaced with the Carquest rotors, again no prob bob.
