The whole brake thing confuses me. Like I know the brake pad compound and calipers help with stopping distance, but does drilled/slotted rotors really help that much?

 

[OklaHemi]

the idea is that the hole and slots allows the gasses that form from friction to be released giving you better preformance

 

[garner]

Oh ok I see. That makes sense

 

[shadow11]

its funny black trucks still look good dirty. i also need to replace my brakes so i will be getting the 4 drilled and slotted rotors and pads from brake motive on ebay.

i have no plans for new years as of yet. i was in a wreck, someones eles fault, a few years ago so i like to stay where ever im at

Noooo. Find some SRT brakes okla. You know you want them.

 

[OklaHemi]

i do so bad but the spindles are non existant. id be better off stealing the srt-10 off the used lot and stripping it down

 

[txbass06]

^^Do it lol. I'll drive up and give ya a hand

 

[shadow11]

I know they are really hard to find. I get pms all the time on VTCOA asking if I ever want to sell the spindles and calipers to let them know lol.

 

[OklaHemi]

we could strip it down to frame all i want is the brakes and spindles, some one else could have the hood, wheels, seats, etc...

 

[shadow11]

Ill take the seats, front and back bumper, side moldings, maybe the engine and transmission and rear end and um I think thats it.........

 

[garner]

I'm gonna tell my aunt to keep all SRT-10 trade ins in lock down cause you guys might steal them

 

[shadow11]

You can be our inside guy Garner. Get us the keys so it looks like some body that works there stole it and then they will never find us!!!

 

[garner]

That person would be me! That sort of thing happened at a different dodge dealer a couple of weeks ago

 

[Bad Habit]

ill take some srt 10 parts, theyll never find em in fl

 

[OklaHemi]

yeah but the shipping...maybe i can go back to the dealership and see if the have a freight company they use

 

[Bad Habit]

getting retinted tomorrow morn, all matching 5% i got a buddy who tints and im gettin it done on the low low low low low low low low

 

[OklaHemi]

ah to be part of the lower class. get some light mounted under the rear bumper. backing up at night sucks with dark windows

Yes.
They allow for air too circulate ''thru'' the rotor ,cooling it, which in turn creates better performance. Heated brakes tend too fade leaving a spongy feeling and ultimately brake failure. That rarely happens on cars or pick-up trucks, but when the vehicles get bigger so does the problem.

wow we just hit our 1600 post very good guys... garner going on this look on the higher end vehicles they all have them, they are stock on all srt models. that being said i have read where the drilled rotors have actuallycracked. so maybe being just slotted would be better, maybe i am by no means an engineer

Yeah drilled rotors crack over time. I know high end cars have them, but they have the brembo disc and caliper and a special pad to have better braking. I was just wondering why people upgrade the rotors, but not calipers and in most cases pads since they do most the work

I was contemplating them, but I dunno how you would prevent rust from getting at the exposed ares not touched by the pads, holes slots. thet sorta thing.
On another line, Okla wanna do a friendly paypal bet on the fiesta bowl? Say 20$ you give me 14 .5 points, the line is 17, but I don't like ties.lol. you game?
I'll take Uconn of course. Oefootball you game as well?
