My brakes are in need of being replaced soon as the pedal is getting very soft and they wear has just been too much for them.

I was looking at the power slot rotors along with the hawk pads and earls brake lines. I want to upgrade all four brakes, but I am only finding power slots for the front on a 2001 1500 GMC Sierra. Also the hawk pads that Thunder sells, are these for only the front? Finally, the earls brake lines (5 lines) I assume is for all four corners...

So, are the front and rear brakes identical and accepting the same parts, or are these companies only making parts for the front?

Thanks,

I just did powerslots and hawk HP+ on the front after my stock rotors took a crap on me.

Works better than stock thats for sure. I can still slightly lock a rear tire if I'm stopping and making a turn so I wouldn't say it needs a lot more rear brake.

If your pedal is getting mushy then do a really good bleed first with a quality brake fluid. If thats all that its doing right now, 90% of the pedal is going to be how good the bleed is on the truck.

Yeah, I got the rear rotors for about 150 each, discounted price. I was kinda shocked when I heard the price. I work on BMW's and some of our rotors cost about that much, cheap ones anyway but there made better, stop better that is.
