recommend aftermarket front rotor??
I m trying to find what good qauilty for my truck F150 2004 FX4 since front rotors is POS and dealer said its not enuff to cover for TSB! what a such BS!
I decieded not to bother with them.
How about EBC ?? powerslots etc ???
I heard/read that w/ drilled rotor can cause crack...and recommend me to get dimpled/slots..
I m more toward EBC rotors w/ green pads...
Please help..feedback??
thanks!

I think they're about $80 each.

I'm pretty tough on brakes.
Drive too fast in a 3-ton Expedition with a blower, and I tow a 7,000lb boat/trailer combo.
I've only warped one set of rotors, ever, and those were the factory rotors at about 60K miles...then they immediately warped again.
Since then, I've ran cross-drilled APs (stuck caliper helped ruin them), StopTech (another stuck caliper), and PowerStop (developed a crack). But had cr@ppy pad wear with all of them, as well as massive brake dust.
The plain Brembos seem a little easier on the pads, and I've got a lot less brake dust. Braking performance seems the same as the cross-drilled rotors I've run in the past.
If I can get more than 12K miles out of a set of front pads on these rotors, I'll be happy.
