Default Wonderful Brakes!

Howdy, I have read here, with great interest about improving the brakes on our F150's. I bought my wife a 2009 STX a few months ago. Even though the brake pads had just been replaced by the dealer they just seemed anemic. Perusing this forum I see I am not alone. I read and searched this and other forums and found much more pride, interest, help and dare I say entertainment on this forum than on any other. I started asking questions and one of the folks that heeded my call was a vendor here. A gentleman by the name of Kevin. He is with r1 Concepts. He queried me about my driving and use of said vehicle and then made a couple of suggestions. I read some reviews, came back to this forum, read some more. PRICE CHECKED After making my decision I called Kevin and placed my order. Slotted only, Premier front and rear rotors with Hawk LST pads. Kevin made sure to explain shipping times and kept me up to date as to date shipped via tracking number and e-mails. He made sure I was very well informed.
Everything came on time, well packed with instructions (this is this and that is that). Every part fit as hoped, Quality was obvious. Expectations reached.

If I didn't just replace the fronts on my truck, I would have been really interested to know the cost of upgrading to better brakes. Alas, I just replaced both rotors and pads recently and wouldn't want to see them go to waste.

I'll be looking at replacing mine sometime after the new year. The dealership replaced the pads before I purchased this truck but man do they squeal. I havent had the time to take the wheels off and inspect properly or at least lube the slides up. I'll be in touch!

I'm sure the brakes are great, but that website is terrible. Half the screen is taken up by "enter your vehicle information" I can't comfortably scroll or read the info about the products.

We're actually currently in the process of making the website "easier" to search for specific parts.

What are you viewing the website from? It doesn't take much room on my screen.

nastyFFX4 I apologize, it was in the vendor section. Not here. He bumped the one, I dunno about the other. I copied the link for you.
