Benefits

These GD rotors are designed to work seamlessly with your Ford F-150, providing reliable braking performance whether you're commuting or tackling tough terrains. The innovative design not only improves safety but also extends the life of your brake pads by minimizing wear.

Fitment

These rotors are specifically crafted for the front of the Ford F-150 models from 1997 to 1999. It's crucial to remember that if you're upgrading the front pads, you should also consider upgrading the rear pads to maintain balanced performance.

Installation Notes

The Thermic Black coating on these rotors does not require removal before installation. In fact, it will wear off in the pad swept area during the first 10 to 20 stops. This coating is designed to provide long-lasting resistance against rust, ensuring your rotors stay in top shape for years to come. Avoid using brake cleaner or any other method to remove this coating, as it will void the warranty.
