time for brakes

[PowerSTOKED_Bryan]

hey guys. i just did my taxes and i will be in for a little bit of money here in a week or so...my truck is about due for brakes and i was going to use my return to pay for them so i can just do the front and back. my intentions are to go with the cryo slot with hawk pads to help stop the 37s in the summertime... i get a little "fading" when pulling a trailer. my question is should i get the hard core "double frozen", the regular frozen, should i get the kit that replaces the front calipers as well? i intend on keeping this truck until she dies because new ones are OUTRAGOUSLY priced and im trying to buy a house in the near future. i just want to get the right stuff the first time and be done with it. any input is appreciated!

which brand rotors are you going to get? you should only need the regular frozen rotors.. but a good upgrade is going to SS braided lines if you dont already have them....

thanks for the response. i dont have the stainless braided brake lines, that was another question i was going to ask. do you think i should do the fron calipers as well? i was looking at kits on your site and im just a little confused as to which kit to get. i dont tow anything extremely heavy, just a small 2 horse bumper pull trailer. my stock rotors are actually fine..they arent warped. ive heard of a lot of guys saying the stock rotors warp within a couple hundred miles. i must be easy on my brakes? lol.

if your front rotors are fine just leave them like that until they need to be replaced... then upgrade them.. but i highly suggest getting SS braided lines for the front and rear... it makes a pretty big diff with your stopping power

Can I change from 13 inch rotor to 14.5 rotors on my f250 super duty powerstroke

I recently replaced all 4 hoses with Russel SS lines and Blue Synthetic Fluid and there is a world of difference, no surprises had it done in about 2 hours.

98K on the shoes and rotors and still going strong!

SS Lines were ~114.00 from Summit Racing or eBay.

i personally like EBC pads, but SSBC makes some great products too. they have some wicked calipers that really make a world of difference! definately get steel lines for yer system.

the rear pads and rotors are worn and need to be replaced...i figure probably by mid summer the fronts will have to be done..thats why i was going to do them both now and be done with em. ill definately get the stainless lines.
