Default Brakes

okay so i recently took truck to shop and had to get rotors turned and they only had 13k on them and they were bad..i put new pads and calipers on at the same time the rotors were done. i put on the wearever rotors and wearever gold pads from advance auto parts..well after doing some research i find out that maybe my pads might be causing my rotors to warp. local shops by my house are advance auto parts, o reilleys, autozone and napa..any input on pads and rotors i should get not looking to spend a fortune. and i dont want to have to order them online lol

Look around for Raybestos pads and rotors, they are good. If you end up buying on line check out rockauto.com and get Centric pads and rotors or check out our vendor the parts monster, he sells them at a discount for us, I got mine there!
