Stay away from "budget" cross drilled rotors. They crack to damned easy when they get hot and are splashed with water.
Dimpled and slotted at most.
Slotted to save $
Get the new Black coated ones that don't rust.
Pads, use these..
Quoted from EBC website
"Greenstuff – 7000 Series – 4×4 / SUV Supreme Brake Pad
For a small price premium over the 6000 series, these pads are the ultimate SUV / 4×4 front end pad. They will stop faster and last longer with almost zero brake dust and are EBC’s premium offering for heavy 4x4s. These pads are guaranteed noise free. Average friction coefficient 0.45mm. Features and benefits include chamfers and slots, shimmed, and coated with EBC’s own Brake-In friction accelerator for fast bed-in."
Also, stay Away from Ceramic pads unless you do go with good quality crossdrilled and slotted rotors..
Pad and rotor combinations must be a matched set.
If you use ceramic pads and normal smooth rotors. your rotors will warp FAST.
Due to the pads not pulling heat from the rotor, so the rotor over heats easily.
Must keep the system matched.
Excellent advice here!
I would MUCH rather have high quality blanks than cheap ebay rotors with slots and holes in them.
