This is probably a stupid question but would I get improved braking performance by simply replacing OEM pads with higher quality than OEM or would I only benefit from upgrading the pads and rotors?

Mine are beginning to squeal. I need to check them out to see how much pad I have left.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

You would get alittle improvement going to a ceramic pad as they stop better once warm and hold better with less fade once hot. The R1 package from FreedomMS is nice . I did front and rear at the same time and noticed a difference in stopping power when driving regular and towing my boat.

Thanks for the advice, BeansGT!

Yesterday i've installed the EBC yellow stuff brake pads with EBC rotors...
Naturally new pads and rotors needs an appropriate running in period, but now the braking power is FANTASTIC!!!
Nothing to be compared with stock (and 24k Km / 15k miles) brakes...

I installed EBC rotors and pads. My main complaint is the dust. My truck is no detail queen but man they give off a lot of brake dust. I have about 25,000 hard miles on this set and I will end up changing to another brand pads, once these wear out.

Here at Freedom Motorsports, we recommend the R1Concepts PRemier series rotor packages over all others due to our personal and our customer's experiences and reviews. That being said, get with @Rookie or myself no matter what brand aftermarket rotors and pads you go with. We can offer great discounts on R1Concepts, EBC, Hawk, Stoptech and more. From just pads and or rotors, all the way up to big brake kits that will fit stock 17" wheels!
