Default rotors and pads $500

So I have about 500 bucks that I am willing to spend on new rotors and pads for all four corners. What are the best quality pads and rotors for this price? Let me know what site you bought them on if u got them online. I want slotted and/or drilled if possible. Whatever is best for that price. Thanks for the help.

I spent about $400 for Hawk LTS performance pads and new NAPA Premium rotors on all four corners. I highly suggest this combo to anyone, low dust and awesome braking performance over OEM.

The 2wd has to be the whole assembly as the rotors are part of it. You can do separate rotors with a conversion kit from Centric. I've got the parts sitting in the garage waiting to do my conversion. This lets you use the cheaper 4wd rotors and easier access in the future. I'm out of the OP's price range, but I'm using Powerslot cryo rotors and Hawk LTS pads. Centric rotors would be more affordable and are good quality along with Wagner pads.

Are these standard non slotted or drilled rotors? I realize u said napa premium, just wondering what features they have or if they are similar to oem? Did u buy the pads online or at a local shop? I have seen the hawk pads on Autoanything.com. Thanks for the suggestion. Right in the price range I am looking to spend. Anyone else?

The rotors are just plain old OEM style rotors, the pads are what made all the difference. I got the pads from a vendor here, he beat everyone's prices. https://www.f150forum.com/f77/site-v...umbs-up-94798/ Now that Ive got a few thousand miles on them I still couldnt be happier with the performance.
