Time for new rotors & Brake pads

I have a '07 F150 lariat 4x4. Its time to replace rotors and brake pads. Any suggestions on which brand to go with or any package deals out there. Thanks for any help!

Since you asked, Wagner ThermoQuiet semi-metallic's will come in as the majority favorite hands down. There are better quality (IMHO) pads out there, but they're expensive. I'm an EBC 7000 GreenStuff fan, but they're almost twice as much as the Wagners. They are infallible though.

Rotors are not a requirement and aftermarket ones offer very little if any gain in actual (mostly perceived) performance over stock. If not for bling, resurface your stock rotors and you have outstanding factory performance and feel with that and the Wagner pads. If you just want new rotors, any rotor from a name brand company will be great and trouble free...Power Slot, Stop Tech, Baer, etc, all great. As a general rule, don't go cross-drilled but slotted is OK!

I have had good luck with the Akebono Pro-Act Ceramic pad or the Hawk HPS pads and the Power Slot rotors. The Akebono pads have very low dust and a good bit. The Hawk pads have a little more dust but a much better bite.

Well, i have a 2002 but i am in the same boat. I am ordering slotted rotors from brakeperformance.com tomorrow with some Wagner TQ pads... i got 141,000 miles out of the original rotors, so i am not complaining...
Anyone have a part number for the Wagner front pads on a 2002 Lariat with 4 wheel disc? 5 lug..

Just go to O'Reiley's auto parts and have them look 'em up...it's not rocket science. Only options for the truck are semi-metalic or ceramic.
