Brakes?

[Eidens13]

I'm looking to get new rotors and pads. Thinking of either new regular rotors and hawk pads or slotted/drilled rotors with pads. Any suggestions? Thanks

If R1 or Chris are running a promo, R1 concepts are gtg in my book!

R1 concepts drilled and slotted with ceramic pads.

A lot of members here have those and happy with them

What about the EBC rotors and green pads? Ant feedback on those?

R1 rotors drilled and sloted have not given me any issues and look great

 

[Eidens13]

What pad is everyone using with the R1 rotors?

Slotted I say yay, drilled and slotted I say nay! I've had issues on lighter cars with drilled and slotted. However Tahoe rotors are much beefier and the members above have not had any issues.

As far as pads, ceramics are a great improvement. EBC/Hawk are always great choices. There's cheaper alternatives but ceramic IMO is a key material to great bite for braking. Performance rotors and ceramic pads go hand in hand, don't really want either or to be too hard or too soft. One will wear the other when improperly paired.

I purchased the R1 premium drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads and will never go back to normal setup again. Looks good with aftermarket rims too.

are you upgrading to ss lines too? does anyone truly notice a difference going to ss lines on our rigs?
