1997 4x4 Front Brake Upgrade

[zman7125]

Looking to replace my brakes in the spring, drums look okay so probably just shoes but fronts I want to look into an upgraded rotor & pads. I was thinking green stuff pads but EBC doesnt have a rotor listed for my truck that's drilled & slotted. Don't do a lot of towing, just a lot of stop & go and looking for a quality upgrade that I will get longevity out of. Thanks in advance!

Summitracing sells their 4x4 drilled/slotted rotors for around $50/pc

Have you used these or know of anyone who has Brad? Look reasonable for $50 my brother recommended zinc coated rotors to prevent rusting

 

[brinker88]

I've never personally used them, no.

I'll do a little more research, btw your bumper looks nasty!

Okay, lemme know if you get them. I'd love to have a place to get cheap drilled/slotted rotors.

And thanks man! I love it

Thanks guy! I'll look into those

Think I might look into these ones Brad, quality looks decent & their Zinc coated like everyone I've talked to has recommended.
Only thing that scares me is how inexpensive they are...
