JMortensen Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I warped the front rotors on my 2006 GMC1500 4x4, I think it happened when I towed my friend's S10 Blazer on my trailer. That was a lot of weight behind the truck and I had a couple long downhill stops from relatively high speeds. Anyway, rather than screw with turning the rotors and all that I'm just going to replace them. I've looked and it appears you can get Brembo rotors, which I'll do because they lasted so well on the Z, but I have no clue as to what would be the best brake pad for this application. It will be used as a tow vehicle and I drive it maybe 5000 miles/yr on the street. Pad longevity is not a concern, I just want something that doesn't warp the rotors with the type of use I'll put them through. Suggestions?

JMortensen Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Looks like I might be able to get Hawk HP pads... also found Green Stuff pads. Weird. Nobody has any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Not Greenstuff, Lucas if you can get them or one of the Axxis range (which are AU Bendix) but maybe not the Ultimates which are a decent road/track pad but a bit hard on rotor wear. In AU they have a 4WD pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
