I just don't understand this tricked out brake stuff. My truck has 145,000 on it and the brakes were inspected at 115,00 and the mechanic said the brakes looked like brand new. And this is with 40% towing.

The ONLY reason, and I do mean ONLY reason for slotted and drilled rotors on race cars is weight reduction. That's it. Weight reduction.

And then you have people that want slotted and drilled rotors. WTH? Do you really want to reduce the thermal load your rotors can absorb?

Donโt worry 12V will be along to support you in the โceramic pads are dumbโ comments.
Myself, I prefer equal or better performance, long life and mostly my wheels not looking like I havenโt washed them in a month, 2 days later.
To the OP yes ceramic pads are just fine with stock rotors. Just burnish the rotors good to side in bedding the pads unless you get really good pads like EBC with a bedding compound on them. Even still it is best to scuff the rotors completely.

Short answer is yes. It's a brake pad sold for that truck and it will work on your stock rotors.

First question...why do you feel the need?
Perhaps he's down to 15%- 20% on the pads and does not get into listening and feeling to metal grind against metal would be my guess.
