Disk Brake Upgrade

[Old_Sparky]

I am ready to upgrade the front disk brakes on my truck now that I have the 17" rims/tires on it. What recommendations do you have for new disks/pads? My budget will only allow a total of $300 for rotors, brackets and pads, so please keep this in mind. Fancy rotors may be nice to have, but the budget is my limitation.

I did a brake upgrade in spring of 2009 and I used the Power slot rotors and the Hawks LTS brake pads. Total cost including shipping was $307. I did a price compare on the internet and ended up buying from AutoAnything. I am very happy with the results. I can really anchor the truck. I carry a 2500 # camper and I have no problem stopping that baby if I need to anchor it in a hurry. No squeals at all. I have 20k miles on the setup so far. There maybe other good options out there, but I am happy with the results of this combo. I would do the very same thing again if I was looking for an upgrade.

I heard upgrading to 3rd Gen brakes/rotars was the way to go.Not sure whats involved - but sure you could do that off a wrecked truck for $300.
