brake upgrade ideas?

[Freedom Motorsports]

They are holding up amazingly well. I have not experienced ANY of the chunking or problems that others have talked about having with the drilled rotors. I also haven't experienced any cracking in the rotors either. I have heard several horror stories about these issues, but have not only not experienced the problems myself, I have been selling R1Concepts brake parts since 2009 and have yet to have a customer complain about any of those issues. That is the main reason I promote their products as much as I do, I truly believe in the quality of their parts.

I can vouch for R1 Concepts rotors. They are really trick looking and do a real nice job! Quality stuff.

Got a picture of these rotors?

 

[Freedom Motorsports]

I have a few.

Here is a pic of the Premium Rotors I have here now getting ready for installation on a 2005 Dodge 3500 Dually 4x4 Cummins


Her is a pic of the Eline series cross drilled and slotted rotors I installed on the front of a 1999 Toyota 4Runner

New rear hardware and shoes for the yoter, just throwin' that in there for fun...


Here is a pic of the Eline Series on the rear of the wife's 04 Denali


Here is a pic of the front rotors on the wife's 04 Denali


Here is a pic of the Pads and Premium rotors after 11 months and about 10K miles, of which about 7500 of those miles were put on the truck while loaded with Christmas trees loaded onto a gooseneck tri-axle trailer with 26ft of actual flatbed, the AVERAGE load weight being around 35K lbs total gross.

You can see the lighter colored dust around the black corrosion coating. This is without cleaning them after running throughout the 14 day hauling season.


Here you can see how much pad is left after that "abuse".

luckly I just got my Wilwood front kit for 900 on ebay. 14" with 6piston caliper. Love them right now.

 

[2010_5thgen]

Is your wildwood kit a 6 piston or just 4? And front and rear for 900? That's a he'll of a deal

what kind of warranty is on them?

 

[Freedom Motorsports]

There is a lot of information concerning their warranty policies, so I have provided that information in a thread located through the link I have pasted below. That being said, I have only had one time that any of my customers have had to use the warranty; in that particular case there was a manufacturer defect in the rotors that caused the need for them to be replaced and I handled the situation for the customer (a member here on this site) and R1 shipped his new replacement rotors the same day so that he had his new replacements within days of figuring out that there was a need for them to be replaced. I also have a thread posted in the Synthetic Motorsports section of this forum that explains the situation with those warranted rotors if you would like to see more about that.

I have been selling them since 2009 and actually using them for longer than that and that one customer is the only person that has ever had a need for a warranty replacement.

Hope this helps.

Here is a link to the warranty policies.
