Looking at pads, possibly rotors this spring (again) before I start towing the tent trailer and quad (3500-4000 lbs). I'm on my 3rd set of rotors after having 2 sets of factory ones replaced on warranty and now on Raybestos rotors and pads for the last couple of years. Been happy with the brakes, but have not been happy with the pedal feel, even after a bleed and fluid replacement a couple of years ago.
At the very least I will most likely need pads, but will this help the pedal firmness, or should I get the pads and a bleed and fill as well?
If I do decide to go with the entire package, any recommendations on a complete brake package good for towing?

For a firmer brake pedal feel get the Braided Brakes Lines from JBA,they will not flex and expand under pressure like the OEM rubber lines will.Yes they are $$$ but well worth it,I installed them and got a firmer pedal feel.

did you have any problems with the F rotors warping?

Mine are bad @ 50K, but the pads are still in good shape.

I warped stock fronts once, then I thought I had it with Lightning Industries then I warped them by driving in the hills then parking her in a creek when I got where I was going. I run DBA Rotors now from Australia and darn they work. I tried to warp them but failed Lifetime warranty.
