    In my own imaginary world, where. Respect for wome
    Drilled AND Slotted. If you can find one w/ both, that is the best. I have a set of D & S Rotors that I got off of eBay (some guy in Canada) and have never had a problem. I run the truck hard. Usually hit 100mph once a week. I don't do a ton of towing, but when I do, i am loaded out. I do a lot of payload carrying (if thats how you wanna define crap in the bed), upwards of 1500lbs no problem. In all 3 instances, I have never had an issue. I also run Hawk Pads (pads make a HUGE difference). Hope this helps.

    It was too expensive for me to justify bigger Caliphers when I don't tow often or really have a need for it. When I go to running 38s I may look into it depending on how much stoping distance I loose.

    Bigger calipers are nice, but unless you're doing some really high performance driving there's not much need for them. If I were building a Lightning or a Mustang making tons of power I'd look into a Brembo kit or something equal, but with everyday driving I personally don't need them and would rather spend the extra money on something else.

    ^^Yeah man, just throw you some quality pads on there and some good rotors and the average driver will be fine. Like I said, unless you plan on racing an Autocross race or joining the SCCA there's no need for ultra high performance calipers and rotors.
