A1 Auto sells some drilled/slotted rotors with performance pads I believe.

EBC slotted and dimpled rotors with yellow stuff pads is what I run all away around! While your at it due yourself a favor and upgrade the front brake lines to stainless with Kevlar... custom lengths made by crown, if you are lifted as well as can be had in any color. Makes a huge deference in the pedal...also I Flushed entire system and ran top shelf higher temp brake fluid..like Stop-tec STR-600 racing. These upgrades will have the truck stop on a dime.

No problem...the reason I went yellow is because they make yellow pads for front and back.. green pads are only for front...I wanted all four pads to match. Also dimpled rotors less likely to warp/crack not drilled all the way through :roflsquared:

Check out the Powerstops on RockAuto.
Decent price even with the shipping.

Coated and have not shown any rust yet even through the Canadian Winter so far.

Stop great. Have had them for 6 months now.

+1 on powerstops. Only got the rotors and pads but so far so good, of the few panic stops I've had to do (even one with a trailer on) it's stopped me like it should...

Ive read good things about the Z36 powerstop rotors and brake pads that come with them ive watched a few installation vidoes and seems simple enough and on it was either Realtruck.com or Carid.com that has a discount on them right now.

I did look at both...but got a great deal on EBC from auto anything price match...which ever you decide...I would defiantly recommend changing out front lines.... they are the weak point in system. Also high quality brake fluid...I flushed my entire system...fluids like Stop-Tec...Motol...Redline...etc...dot 4 higher heat tolerances!

Did you have these delivered to Canada? If you did, did you get charged additional duty?

What is your impression of this kit now?

I have looked at the R1 kit as well but I’m looking for the best deal without getting hosed on shipping to Canada.
