Powerslot Cryo's/Hawk SUV's or EBC?
 
Burned down the front brakes on my truck after losing my trailer brakes (bad lockout solenoid). After repairing the trailer brakes, it is now time to repair the truck brakes. '06 Yukon Denali XL with factory 20's. Stock brakes have always sucked so looking to upgrade. Opinons one way or the other on going with Powerslot Cryo rotors/Hawk SUV pads vs. EBC rotors and yellow pads? Other options? Thanks!

I ate up poweslots on my Excursion in 35000 miles. Switched to cheapo Autozone chinese rotors and EBC green pads. No pulsation and the pads are at 50% at 45K/mi.

I put SBC brakes and slotted rotors all around on my Silverado. Work great and I feel more at ease with better brakes. These have 3 pistons/wheel compared to the one (?) on stock truck. Ken

I have the hawk ceramics on stock rotors........no fade......Im happy with them

So, don't waste my money on aftermarket rotors and just go with an upgraded pad from Hawk or EBC? I can get stock Raybestos rotors at the local Farm and Fleet for about $50 a rotor. My current rotors are warped and glazed from all the heat generated from stoping 8,500lbs. of boat/trailer by themselves.

Ever had the brake fluid flushed? Make sure that gets done also. And make sure the whole system is flushed, not just bled at the calipers.
I'm actually pretty impressed with stock parts on these trucks since the new body style. Stock rotors with an aftermarket pad might work for you.

Mine is an '06...old body style.

I mean since '99-00. Should've said since new "platform" change. Lots of stuff changed, including a huge improvement in brakes.

I always get the stock replacement genuine Raybestos rotors......good quality, great resistance to warpage and not that much more than the cheapo chineze stuff......my mechanic turned me on to them.
