Need More Brakes

[Big_Al]

I just sold my 2011 F150 and have started driving my 97 Hoe more. I really miss the breaking power of the F150. I feel that my Hoe's brakes are in good condition, so I'm basically looking for what is a good upgrade. I also have noticed that if I have to stop suddenly the ABS kicks in and hardly stops at all. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks, Al

I put some "PowerStop" Slotted Drilled Rotors/ Ceramic pads (came as a kit) on my 98 Sierra and it will lock them up if you stab them hard unlike before. Cost me about $150.....

Hydroboost would give you a facefull of dash if you want to go through that swap over....

Lester,

I pulled the trigger on the above mentioned kit from Amazon. It was $129.10 delivered. A few dollars less than everyone else that had them ready to ship. I post up the results once installed.
Did you break them in easy like typical pads recommend?

Thanks,

Al

I rode them real hard like the directions indicated, very hard slow downs from 35 but not stopping and getting them pretty hot, it definitely will stop now......
