Hey guys, my mechanic says I need new front brake pads and rotors. I hear most people went with EBC, but never heard of their feedback on it. I've searched around and could not find a solid thread about this. Where do you guys recommend getting new rotors and brake pads for a good deal? Any suggestions will be appreciated. My truck is 07 F150 Harley Davidson 2wd.

Lol I just made a post about this too. I found these slotted R1 Concepts rotors but I don't know if that's a good brand or not. But I know for a fact I'm buying the hawk pads.. heard nothing but good things about them. I had Duralast rotors and pads and they didn't last long.


Here's the link for the rotors

i put the OEM style EBC rotors and SUV green stuff pads. there a vast improvement over OEM. i got my set of fronts for 300 online. if you have a 2wd its gonna cost more.

ebc oem style rotors and hawk ceramic pads a little pricey but its better than changing the pads and rotors every year. i like the combo i went with and the truck stops great no break dust and no problems with this combo.

I just replaced rotors and pads a couple weeks ago from Brake Performance. Very happy so far, no dust, good stopping power and great customer service.

Good customer service until you have a warenty claim. I wont use them again

I'll have to check into the R1 rotors. And same here about the hawk pads - nothing but good things about them.

That's the thing that sucks about having a 2wd truck - it costs more.

How long have you had the combo for?

Can you send me a link to that product and how much did it run you?

Are you talking about the EBC?

Why does it cost more for a two wheel drive truck?

Because it's a one-time deal, you cannot re-use the bearing I believe or the middle piece that holds the rotors in. Could be wrong, but that is from what I hear.

Any suggestions you guys have for me? I still need an answer and get this done ASAP!
