Just my opinion, but I wouldnt waste money on fancy brakes. Good front
pads(with a lifetime warranty) you can buy anywhere from $20-$42 at any
Autozone.......NAPA should have a good selection also of lifetime pads. As
long as the pads didnt wear too thin and dig too far into the rotors, you
dont need to replace the rotors............just take them into a machine
shop and have them turned for $7 per rotor(or whatever they charge up
there). Basically, for $35-$60 you can do the front brakes(if you dont need
any other parts, like the calipers), just depends on how good of pads you
put on your truck.
