    Default Brake upgrade

    hey guys so that time has rocked around where a bit of brake servicing is in order.

    im looking at getting slotted and drilled ones in stranded size, with Bendix brake pads, but ive been told that the disc can crack where the drills are, over time.

    But what would like to find out is what's the benefits between plan slotted rotors and slotted and drilled ones and of coarse the stock rotors.

    what i have found out so far.

    Increased dissipation of water, dust and road grime from the contact area of your
    braking system.

    Improved integrity of the pad and rotor surface, through deglazing of the contact area.

    Directional slotting surface also combats “out-gassing” which is caused by gas from the
    brake pad bonding agent forming a cushion between your pad and rotor and
    thereby reducing pad “bite”.

    Thanks Dan

    Get slotted an dimpled rotors, they wont crack like drilled ones do/will.
    Take it easy...But do take it...

    Do not argue with an IDIOT.
    He will just drag you down to his level an beat you with experience
    .

    Some people take me the wrong way, Like smacking up Marijunna.

    I do curve slotted and dimpled rotors for $400 a full set of 4. Shipping would be $30 on top.

    I use the RDX high performance pads by RDA. I am using them on our Senator front and rear at the moment with the same curved and slotted rotors and find they are excellent. An extra $130 for the full set of fronts and rears.

    I'm getting an estimate from TNT to ship overseas.
