Thread revival.
I think I'm in the market for a brake upgrade. Currently running the AutoZone OE replacements and their Max pads. They were great out of the gate, but I'm noticing what seems like an increased stopping distance. I don't drive the truck near like I used to, but I took a little road trip on Friday and noticed that my stopping distance sucked.
I'm at about 180k miles and 13 years, so I'm thinking I'll replace the front lines with steel braided ones, do the rotors and pads with a performance upgrade and flush the fluid.
FWIW, I'm still running the OEM rear drums. I may consider doing a replacement there too, but IIRC the front does about 80% of the braking and they aren't making any noise.
@Silverback , how are those PowerStops holding up? they working good for the 5 miles you put on the taco annually?[/Sarcasm]
I'm kind of thinking I want to go with either the same PowerStop kit (k137-36) or the R1 Concepts equivalent kit. Others I should consider? Should I rule either of those out for any reason?[/S]
