Yup. I would have picked them up probably. I'm looking at doing a set now.
It's really more initial bite I'm after. I can lock up my 37s on a dry level road as it is. Some less fade would be nice too.
I wonder how the pad life is and how they will do towing. I'm going to run the 20 compound pads instead of the 10 too.

Any idea if those slotted cross drilled rotors from A1 auto are worth a shit? Figured I'd try a set, my brakes suck a dick.
Rotors won't fix your problem. And I would never run a drilled rotor. Unless they're carbon ceramics.
I mean the pedal is firm and all but the brakes get hot easy and fade fast. Plus I have 90k on the original set, I'm due.
I'm going to guess due to rig roads and the twisting turning roads back east is why your wanting to replace? I have 124k and all 4 corners are original yet. Well I guess your alot heavier as well. Sounds like you want an obs back with all the stuff been heckling you lately
I've always been rough on brakes. These could make it to 100k but it'd be close. I even use tow haul and the turbo brake on back roads and to slow down 90% of the time trucks just heavy and the larger tires don't help and its hills everywhere.
My rotors will need changed, they've got a brake groove in them. Guess I'll check out marks slotted rotors since they are oem and get a good set of semi metallics.

Then I'd need a cp3 conversion, another trans and on and on. I'm content with this one I guess, just time for that 100k mile refresh. Plus it's gonna be paid off this year, so if I can get two more years out of it I'll keep it for a rig ride and get an lp5.
A drilled rotor will always crack. Most people never have problems but for the weight these trucks can move, I wouldn't trust them.
