Slotted front brake rotors or not??

[raptorforme93]

Ive read that the EBC Slotted and dimpled front brake rotors are a big performance increase for stopping... I pull trailers a lot including boats and dual axle 16' trailers with four quads on it and I could really use the extra power. How much of a difference would these rotors make? Any suggestions for other rotors or setups are also appreciated! Thank you

I had some cheapos, it was a nite and day difference on mine. Don't go cheap though, mine hadn't even been on 2 years and one is warped really bad.

So it was a big improvement? What would be a good set of rotors?

Go with PowerSlot rotors, they are one of the top brands. It's what I have and im pretty pleased.

Alright thank you! Id rather do it right the first time. Do you have this setup in the front bowtiefreak? I want to eventually get the rear disc brake conversion kit.

Stainless braided lines are another must for improved braking.

Really? I wouldnt have guessed that. What are the benefits stainless braided lines?

Stainless braided lines won't swell on you like rubber ones will and will firm up the feel of the brakes.

I'm in need of some brake improvements myself. The increased unsprung weight of my 17" steel wheels and 33" terra grapplers has really hurt my braking performance.

I have a similiar set up as you. 17" wheels and 33" terra grapplers. It has added to the already pitiful brakes. Haha. and the braided lines makes sense. Looks like its time for some upgrades!!
