[QUOTE="WHYUMAD, post: 635420, member: 5471"] So, I did some extensive research & also cost/benefit analysis. I found that RockAuto.com had the best prices on pretty much everything dealing with rotors, pads, etc. I purchased the following from RockAuto.com: [B][U]Front Rotors[/U][/B] Power Stop Extreme Performance Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors AR85108XPR $131.78 (pair) [B][U]Rear Rotors[/U][/B] Power Stop Extreme Performance Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors AR85148XPR $161.58 (pair) [B][U]Front Pads[/U][/B] Posi-Quiet Extended Wear w/Shims 10614140 (106.14140) $48.79 (set) [B][U]Rear Pads[/U][/B] Posi-Quiet Extended Wear w/Shims and hardware-P; Semi-Metallic 10616020 (106.16020)' $39.89 (set) The total came out to be $454.49 with shipping ($72.45 shipped). I bought Series 500 High-Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid from Amsoil.com with the preferred customer discount. I bought 7 12 oz bottles for $38.50 ($5.50 a pop). I bought the Ford Raptor Stainless Steel Kevlar Braided Brake Lines in Smoke color from KLM Performance for $207.45. I went with the Power Stop rotors because StopTech & Power Stop were both recently bought out by Centric, & we all know StopTech has a very good reputation. I was leaning towards getting the StopTech drilled & slotted rotors for roughly $90 a rotor until I found this information out. They both use the same Centric rotors now, & are the same damn rotor...one being higher priced because of the name now. $60 & $80 a rotor is a hell of a deal for drilled & slotted rotors, especially when OEM stock rotors are $90 & their substitute OEM brand rotors can be had for $60 a rotor. I went with the posi-quiet pads because I've heard nothing but good things about them on the forums & it's another Centric product, so they should go well with the rotors. I also went with Dot 3 because it was half the price of Dot 4, & I read that most people notice no difference between the two if they use the same brand of that brake fluid. Not all Dot 3 brake fluids are equal, & the same can be said for Dot 4s. Some Dot 3 fluids have higher boiling points that some Dot 4 fluids, depending on what brands you go with. I went with Amsoil, who over-engineers most of their products to exceed minimum requirements for fluids such as Dot 3 & Dot 4. Mainly, for daily driving purposes, a good syntehtic Dot 3 fluid like Amsoils will be more than enough for most of us. Dot 4 is beneficial when it comes down to some hardcore racing, but even then I believe the Dot 3 fluid from Amsoil could stand up to those conditions. The brake lines are a must for better brake feel of course, & I don't really have to go into why I chose to do them. Just throwing it out there for anyone not looking to spend a fortune on brakes, but want a nice upgrade for a good bang for the buck. The prices I found on the rotors & pads were phenomenal, so I figured I'd share with y'all. [/QUOTE]
