Hi desert, Ca
Haven’t found a thread for a performance brake upgrade and looking at the a Hawk brakes... opinions? They look real good.

Hope you have a great day

We do offer FRF discounts. Contact me for details.

We do highly recommend our OEM replacement package with R1 Concepts.
We can also get Hawk if that is your preference.

We also have BBK with R1 Concepts and we also sell Alcon.
Alcon's right now are more than what I can sell the R1's for but we have our Alcon's priced better than any group buy pricing.

I use to run the Hawk LTS on my old 98 F-150 and liked the feel and stopping power on them.

The pads lasted about 34-45K miles and was hauling loads of 700-1.1K lbs fairly often. They were a little harsh on the rotors but it didn't matter because I usually changed the rotors when I changed the pad anyways. I probably could have gotten 2 pad changes for each rotor change if I really wanted to but rotors weren't that expensive. I put on over 200K miles on that truck before I

If you do not want excessive cost.

STOP TECH Rotors with AKEBONO Pads

The rotors are directional and pay no attention to the direction of the outside grooves
because it is the direction of the inside of the vanes that matter.
Rotors are labeled for right & left

DuraGo Rotors for the Rear - with Akebono pads
DuraGo are electrophoretic coated and resist rust better than most other brands.
Best China rotor and most all rotors are now Made in China:confused:

I went with R1 for both rotors and pads on my truck but I've used Stoptech on my Jeep to pretty good results as well as EBC rotors and Akebono pads on my RX8 and those were excellent. As long as you don't cheap out (and why would you on a 40 to 50k truck?) having pads with material are going to be better than worn out OEM ones.

I had a quick question since you've done your brakes once already.
Is it true that there's no wear sensor nor anti-squeal springs on our brakes that would flag us the pads are worn/thin?

There is no electrical sensor like on some of the cars I've had over the years. I just took note of the mileage and the spacing of the pad in the caliper.
