Ok I have a 99 f150 4.6l XLT long wheel base 2wd rotors in front drum in back ok I am looking to replace my front break pads and rotors I went to Autozone and it would have cost me $200+ well I tend to do a lot of shopping on eBay and I found rotor and pad kits in all styles from smooth to drilled and slotted at half the price but when I am looking at them they are saying that it's a 5 lug pattern and only fits the 4wd my buddy has a 98 f150 but 4wd and other then the suspension evening thing is the same from what I can see can some one help me out with this

 

I don't think 4wd and 2wd matter. The rotors will work...but only diff may be brake pads size. Check those. If they are the same then go ahead and order. I bought my front rotors off eBay.

 

Alright thank you

 

Also, brake not break.

 

2wd and 4wd are different.
4wd is just the rotors that you need to replace, 2wd is the entire rotor/hub assembly.

 

$200? That's be about a $110 job at Advance Auto even with the best parts. you know the pads are sold as a set right? You don't have to buy one for each side. Also, check Rockauto they have great prices.

I know a lot of people have has issues with drilled / slotted rotors warping and breaking. I'd spend the money so I know it's done right because more often than not, you get what you pay for.

 

I wouldn't worry about drilled and slotted rotors. I don't think they will gain you anything for normal driving. They're kinda like CAI and catback exhaust, image and marketing, not much function.

 

This is true. They've done test on the drilled rotors. Bottom line was, plane vented rotors were the best...and drilled rotors broke.
