Brake Upgrade Recommendations

[ec76]

Looking to upgrade the front brakes on my 2001 XLT 4x4, any recommendations?

I currently have 265R70/17 but want to upgrade to 285R70/17 in the not to distant furture. I want to make sure I have more then enought breaking power for the larger wheels. This is the vehicle the wife and kids ride in all the time so need it to be as safe as possible.

Thanks.

you dont need to...your stocks will be good enough...but if you insist...if you do ebay check out brakemotive on there and get a set of powerstop rotors/pads for $240...i think someone grab some from amazon for and even $200

Thanks, I will check out powerstop rotors/pads.
I know my idea of how quick my Expedition should stop is squeued because I drive an Acura RSX as a DD.

I've got Baer rear rotors and Power slot fronts all with Hawk pads, works great.
but still trying to figure a way to install hydro boost instead of vacum.

I am not sure the drilled/slotted rotor will stop any faster than new quality rotors with quality ceramic pads. In our trucks the drilled/slotted is more for looks

I have a Brembo kit, found on Craigslist for 250 un-open

I run 285/75/R16's with ceramic pads and OE rotors and the braking is plenty good for me. Ceramics (NAPA brand) made a big difference.

Not sure who you were asking but mine is a 2001 XLT 4x4 4.6L

Thanks for all the info. Now I have to decide what to do with it.
