    In all seriousness OP, there's a few write ups on pads. Nothing too special about the install or swap. Heck, you may even find a different type of pad you want to go with instead of OEM.

    I'm just looking for options, my rotors are warping way too frequently, and going to get a harder rotor compound and that's slotted and drilled, hoping that will help

    Do you frequently hit the brakes hard? Shouldn't be eating through rotors esp on a 2013 unless you constantly gun it between stop lights and slam the brakes all the time.

    Too frequently??? You have a 2013. How many times have you warped them? Give your brakes a break and they might last longer. :rolleyes:

    I live in the hills. And I'm always going to the mountains. I always use my gears and downshift and let the transmission do the breaking. But the breaks still warp

    What he said.

    Pads don't have much to do with the rotors warping. It's driving habits that cause warping most likely. I mean, better pads would help with stopping sooner, but they're all about the same.

    Drilled and slotted rotors may be an alternative to you, or upgrading to "tundra" brakes, i've heard of that on here before.

    I guess it's better to brake your breaks than it is to brake your transmission then.
