brake upgrade
It's time to start replacing my brake pads on my 04 F150 S/C FX4, but I would like to upgrade since I tow a trailer in the summer. I don't want to go with a big brake upgrade because I will still run the 17" rims in the winter. I'm looking for an upgrade in rotors as well as pads. Any sugestions on systems that seem to work?

I replaced front and rear pads with Hawk LTS pads.They do have better stopping abilities
and I'm satisfied with them.Still using the original rotors and caliphers.

For HP "Street Pads" for your /04 F150 check out http://www.ctbrakes.com/
The real deal... no hype here.
I'm using their 1521 HP pads (F+R) on my /06 F150, along with Motorcraft HD Dot3 brake fuild (good to 500F)
Currently test running Xtreme Stop drilled and slotted rotors (F+R) as well.
