Brake Rotors/ Pads

Ok, christmas is coming up and I want to replace my brakes. I have the stock FX4 rims on my 2004 Lariat. I plan on getting 20's in the next 2 years. Should I replace my rotors and pads or just pads? Would rotors help braking power? Also what brands and where to get would be appreciated as I have no clue about this stuff. Thanks!

I have a 2004 Fx4 and this summer I went with Powerslot rotors and Hawk pads all the way around and I have been happy with them.

Alright thanks! Where do you get them? Was the install fairly easy? I do not know anything about this stuff. Did you get better braking performance? Also does anyone have any other brands of comparison? Thanks man.

I purchased everything from Brenspeed auto and they had the best price that I could find at the time and beat some online dealers. The truck seems to stop better but the feeling of brakes fading is what seems better. I can stop now and feel more comfortable especially when having to stop fast and slam on the brake pedal. It took me and my friend about 2-3 hours if I remember right and that was in his garage at home using floor jacks.
