Who makes the best rotors and drums?

[ah1988ford]

I took the truck to a tires plus and they told me I needed new drums and rotors and 2 new rubber brake hoses (for the front). They quoted me $900 to do all of this, I of course decided to do this myself. I researched the parts and it comes out to around $250 for 2 new drums, 2 new rotors, and 2 new rubber lines. I just want to know where the best place to buy them is. My options are Napa, autozone, Orilleys, and advanced auto parts. I was thinking napa was the best place but I do not have any experiance with buying brake parts.

Surprisingly the rotors and drums are not expensive for our rigs. Check ebay for the drums and rotors. The utechcenter.. Thats uhaul has them listed all the time. Its kind of hard to buy bad cheap brake parts from what I have seen. As to the best parts.. Wel that would be Ford dealer but bend over and hold them cause they get plenty for it...

They are all worse than what the truck came with so go for price. Thats a quote from my friend that runs a clutch and brake shop.
If the rotors happen to be made in Canada, they are the best on the market.

If you can wait for a week or so, try rockauto.com. They have a selection by manufacturer and price, so you can pick and choose.
