Testing the waters for aftermarket rotors & pads...
I know this question has to have been asked so many times in the past, but after looking through quite a few pages of threads and reading quite a bit, I haven't really found what I'm looking for... SO... I am looking for any and all input/opinions on a nice set of performance aftermarket rotors and pads. As far as my application goes, I tow 3k-5k lbs maybe like 2-5 times a month and go drag it at test and tune night every now and then for poops and giggles. Plus, it would be nice just to have a little extra bite to help slow down the factory 22's.
So bring it on!!! Opinions/input on different brake manufacturers? Life experiences, testimonials? I'm all ears and in need of brakes pretty dadgum soon.... As always, thanks in advance for your time y'all!
Hey I have 2008 Mustang GT I put disc brakes australia (DBA) on for street use and I like them they do a great job stopping. Im sure if you contacted them they could help you find set up that will handle your need. www.dba.com.au/
Thanks for the feedback. Really looking for info on the newer trucks and probably going to try to stick to a company a little closer to home though. Anyone else?
I actually pulled the trigger yesterday and ordered a set of Stop Tech rotors and pads. Went with cryo treated, drilled and slotted rotors. I'm sure I am gonna catch flack from a few guys for going drilled and probably hear about how cryo is a waste, but heck. It should be a definite improvement from the factory setup and last a good while. Looking forward to getting them on and seeing how they do.
i have powerstop rotors and pads on my truck front and rear and they make a huge difference, also they are the only brakes ive ever had that truly leave no dust on your rims
i went with the z23 the middle ones, i couldnt justify the price difference since i was doing front and rear. i ended up getting them from amazon, they were the least expensive around at the time
I got UltraRotors for my 7700. Extremely happy with the performance. I tow 7000 occasionally and haul a lot of lumber, but never use it for "performance" driving. They're semi-slotted, but silent, very nicely machined, and not coated with cosmolene or junk. They bolt on out of the box. I still hit them with some brake cleaner to be sure.
They're also electrically coated with something to prevent rust. I have about 4000 miles on mine and not even any surface rust yet.
