Which slotted disc brake rotors will fit a 2002 Ford Ranger 4x4 FX4 if you want to upgrade your braking system?

Don't go with slotted rotors for a ranger. The slots are made to wear a very slight bit off the break pad every time they pass to make a clean surface on the pads. This wears the pads down much faster than drilled or solid rotors. Slots should really only be used for racing applications. Another function of the slots is to remove gasses from between the pad and disk for better contact. Drilled rotors do this just as well and won't wear the pads as fast.

Can u turn slotted rotors?
As long as they will not be undersized after turning.
Can slotted or drilled rotors be machined in a brake lathe?
Yes. It does not make a difference whether is is the conventional, slotted or drilled rotors. They can all be machined in a brake lathe with the same accurate result.
Driving on bad rotors?
There will be a pulsating on braking.
What are signs that you have bad rotors?
There is a pulsating on braking.
How do you turn drill and slotted rotors?
you can't buy new ones
What happens when you drive your car with the rotors low?
If the rotors are worn too thin, they could snap apart while braking, leaving you with no braking power at all.
Is it necessary to cut brake rotors when changing pads. The rotors are cross-drilled and slotted?
If rotors are smooth and shiny, they are good. If still not certain, ask at brake shop.
How does your car react if you need rotors?
There was a lot of squeaking while braking when my car needed new rotors.
What causes a warped brake rotor?
Excessive or heavy and continuous braking may warp brake rotors. Braking hard (heating the rotors a lot) and then going through water (which quickly cools the hot rotors) may also cause the rotors to warp. If the brake pads or brake rotors are getting thin, the rotors will warp more easily.
Do warped rotors cause car to shake only when giving it gas?
No, warped rotors will cause vibration when braking.
Will back rotors cause shaking to?
If they are warped they can cause shaking when braking.
Steering wheel shakes on braking at 40 mph?
Warped rotors
