2006 Max- brake job

150,000 miles on my max- going to do the third brake my self-
Looking for suggestions for pads & rotors-
Should I also replace the rear rotors as well.
Any thing i should be aware of when doing it?
Know of any videos that would help?
I done brake jobs in the past so not a completely green, but it has been awhile.

Looking to get another 50k at least with this car.

I would personally get plain rotors, drilled and slotted are more prone to crack, and they offer no real advantage other than esthetics.

if the car is just a daily driver get the centric rotors and akebono pads... plenty of stopping power and very easy on your wallet, rotors are coated not to rust and the pads produce little to no dust...
