If you go with frozen rotors they suggest the Hawk LTS pads to go with their rotors on a Titan. You do not have to change anything to do with the caliper, unless you want to throw caliper rebuild kits on their while you have it all apart.

I also have the Frozen Rotor's "slotted" cryo rotor's w/ Hawk LTS pad's. I've never driven an '08+ Titan so i don't know what the difference would be, but i do recommend FR "cryo" rotor's, i think they do make a difference in wear!

are the frozen rotors bigger then my 06 OEM ones?

Online, they want around $250 for a single new unloaded oem 2008 caliper. I can buy a rebuilt 2008 caliper for $110 at my local NAPA, after deducting the core charge.

They are the same size rotor's, just way better quality.

dude... why are you letting a shop do it? i changed my rotors and pads in the garage by myself.

Getting ready to do the 08 upgrade myself. Bought Hawk LTS pads from autobarn. Discount code SPRINGTEN gets you free shipping and 10% off this month.

I think my pads need replacing soon. Im not sure if my rotors need changing. thinking about doing the 08' upgrade but I would like a detailed parts list of whats needed before I go forward with it.

You have to read several pages deep to get to the part where they figure out they need spacer rings to center the bigger 2008 rotors on the smaller 2004-2007 hubs.

I just picked up the spacer rings, someone posted a link to an online store here. I figure if i ever do decide to do this upgrade, i'll need em and I think they said that they weren't going to produce anymore. So i'm not sure where you can buy them now

i just bought regular rotors nothing fancy bought the brake calipers from auto zone comes with pads and mounting bracket and hardware i'm in for around 500.00 i have spent that much on rotors hope this work's i guess i will find out

 

[gweasel77]

Cool! Let u know how they feel once you get them installed & burnished in.

I'm still LOVING my Frozen Rotors & Hawk LTS Pads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a 2006 4x4.So let me get this right.If I go to a larger rotor,350 instead of stock I have to change calipers or not? I see that Frozen Rotors kit has calipers,rotors,pads,and extended brake lines.And what’s the talk about spacers for my hubs?
Is there no way to avoid spending $1K to get better brakes?

 

[Krutch]

Just me, but I put the Power Stop kit (#2442) that includes brakes pads and rotors (drilled/slotted) on my '04 and they made a difference. Two things you got to remember is clean the rotor with brake cleaner before installing and seat the pads. (40 mph and slam on the brakes 3 times in a row to get them hot). Prior to that it felt like i was getting pushed by my trailers when trying to stop.

 

[Hodado]

I’m not sure that it’s worth the investment to get the Frozen Rotor upgrades for $1K I love the truck but it is 14 years old
Where do you get the parts you mentioned?
Thanks

Your very best budget option is to search for the brake upgrade thread here which discusses using the early Armada disks and bigger (08.5-up) calipers on your existing hubs. Turns out to be effectively a rotors, calipers, and pads job, with a few supporting pieces easily sourced from a boneyard or online parts house. Benefit is, it uses all factory parts, so availability is easy at any parts store, as long as you know which year Armada rotors you need when the time comes to replace them.

I was feeling charitable, so here is the thread: 08+ Brake Upgrade Parts Explained - No Spacers Needed
