Brake upgrade questions

[AtomicHoe094]

It mite benefit u... It kinda looks like an atomic atom symbol...

haha.. looks like flowerpower or some **** shit. lol
Im looking into doing the SSBC rotors and maybe keeping the drum to disc kit and doing the hydroboost eventually. once the whipples on, ill deff need the hydroboost.

are those ATEs really slotted in a "star" pattern?? looks messed up. lol

yes. More the atom orbit.

Yea ur gonna need every last bit of braking power after that bad boy goes on...

ATOM ORBIT..! yea thats the 1...

Im really thinking of going with these ATE rotors... I gotta go wit sumthing that both me and my wallet can agree on...

And the rotors... Again just looking for more options and opinions b4 buying... But once I get everything ill put a thread together...

I have the pads installed but hit a workstoppage until next month becuase of a drum brake backplate problem so the vehicle is disabled for brake seating testing right now. Hope to solve the problem with a mobile welding outfit so as not have to take the axle assembly apart and would only cost $100 and half an hour.

I have powerslots but would not add cross-drilling to that. It is only good for appearance and reducing inertial mass. Like track racing. The more materail you remove the less of a heat sink you have. I call it quits at slots for for street vehicles. Crossdrilled rotors are not practical for vehicles of these sizes. It just removes to much metal. If more cooling is needed it is more practical to invent some cooling ducts for this purpose.

Yea thats a very good point... Thats just about the only thing stopping me is weither to go wit...

Power slot
ATE rotors
R1 rotors- For the drilled and slotted I figured it would be looks but for the price it is tempting...

i 've had those rotors from r1 concepts for about a year and a half with no problems. EBC green stuff brake pads

 

[Monstar_est87]

Awsum... I was hoping to get sum feed back on the R1s... N e rust issues or cracks..? Do u feel that they were a deff upgrade..?

i was worried about rust too but they have held up good, no rust or cracks. i got them more for the looks since i couldn't afford the big brake kit. but i didn't feel too much difference in stopping power until i got the EBC pads. IMO they're worth the price
here's a pic of them after about a year

Dang im still torn between the 3... But I think Im gonna go with the HPS Hawk pads... And and heres some part #'s...

HPS HAWK pads: HB296F.670 police package pads
ATE Rotors: CW33703 just double the quantity its bith left and right
PowerSlots: 126.66025(c for cryo)S(L for left R for right)
R1 Concepts: EDS.66025 for the pair
