You can skip the Cryo treated ones... not worth the extra cost. But man I love these brakes!

Default on a side note...

Since I planned on doing the brakes I noticed my e-brake isn't what I'd like it to be. Does my year/model have self-adjusting or something in the rear hub I need to turn? 04 fx4. Thanks to all who helped me with this. Crash, I researched your setup...some fine brakes you got yourself! Will be following suit.

Good question I know some cars have gone to hydraulics.

Default Baer Decela rotors

I've done the same thing looking online to purchase some higher quality rotors than have been installed on my truck since new. My last two rotors have had to be replaced because of wheel bearing failures, (my 2004 2WD has the integrated rotors and hubs).
I was talking with someone at one of the Ford aftermarket parts suppliers and they suggested the Baer Decela rotors, which weren't any more than the powerslots I was looking at, and come with a three year warranty.

I'll be able to report how they work soon.
