    greenstuff will get you better than stock stopping. i felt a noticeable difference. but with 34s and towing, i'm still looking for a little more. i'll be buying the yellowstuff pads when these are used up.

    I bought the same for another vehicle I had and they warranty them but don't cover wear which doesn't make sense to me. Only cracking and other defects so just make sure you hit them with a hammer before you go in so you don't fall victim of the bs I went through.

    If you're referring to my setup, I mis-remembered what I bought. I bought Centric Stop-Tech Cross Drilled and Slotted rotors, which I've been very happy with... Wheelers, rockauto, and Amazon sell them. I bought them from rockauto with the 5% discount code on here for $80 each.

    Mike mentioned a Power Stop Brake Kit from AutoAnything.com. Was just curious about quality. I'm ready to upgrade soon. I'll check out the Centric Stop-Tech as well.

    There's just soo many different options & brands it's getting confusing.

    Not enough

    I installed the power stop kit from Autoanything with the z36 truck & tow pads and Toytec braided steel brake lines, Very happy with them and the improved brake responce! Quality seems good.

    I have to agree...I have no problems with the performance of the OEM equipment, other than the shitty pedal feel, but that's not going to change with different pads/discs/etc.

    Then again, I am rocking an 09+ OR package, which means hydraulic brake booster from hell...YMMV if you're rolling with one of the vacuum boosted models.
