The EBC Rotors aren't scrapped, but the inside of both rotors are a little pitted for some reason (right in the center). Outsides are perfect. I'll probably just have them turned.

I wouldnt turn them. Alot of places dont know how to turn the slotted/drilled rotors correctly and will cause them to crack internally. They have to be turned extremely slow and can only take .001" of per pass. Mine were pitted on the inside slightly also. If they arent warped I wouldnt bother with them. Slight pitting is typical from what EBC had told me. They said to not really worry about it..

Thanks! Not warped because it is still smooth when stopping. The only way I knew there was a problem is because I check the pads when swapping from my winter wheels to summer.

Hey if u buy the calipers at advance auto order them online and pick then up at the store. They have alot of online discounts you cant get in store.

They have the calipers in stock. The online price is $56.99 and I'm bringing the printout with me. Pretty sure they will honor that price. But thanks for the tip. If they give me a hard time I will do as you said.

Looking for a Henway.

you can use discount codes online and get like 30% off the purchase and pick it up in store, the code does not work if you buy it in store. (Google advance auto parts discount codes).

What year and what model F150's got these bigger brakes mentioned earlier? I've been loosely considering upgrading the brakes before I tear the truck down for my build.
Is there an Knowledge thread or sticky on breaks? 7700 7 lug conversions?
