I'll need new rotors and pads soon and was wondering if anybody had any cheap tricks to upgrade these brakes...?

Long shot but does the 4 piston 6lug calipers bolt up to a 5 lug spindle?

If not i guess i'll just settle for some $64 cross drilled rotors from rockauto and some nice ceramic pads.

Thanks,
Mike

I just did a mild upgrade on my base pickup from the 17s calipers to the F18Q calipers.The piston is a lil bigger and the rotors are a lot larger and thicker.I bought the rotors for $18 each new on ebay and the calipers and brackets for $28 from a pick and pull.then added a $20 new 1" bore master cylinder and she stops quick now.the longbed brake pads are about 1/2" wider than the base model pads. and 5 bucks cheaper lol

Is that one ton parts? Ill check out rockauto.com and price it all out. My pnp charges 50 for calipers and that's what they'd cost new so eff that.

The f18q are a lil larger than stock but are single pistion like stock dont know if you were wanting dual piston calipers or not but the 1/2" wider pad and taller wider rotors make for great stopping and great pedal feel.they are easy to come by off 89-91 dxl or longbed trucks.the 17s calipers i belive are what you want if you want 4 pistion calipers.the f18Q was just a cheap easy upgrade for me considering new rotors for stock were $35 and the guy on ebay had the f18q for $18 and should still have some
