High Performance Brake Rotors vs Stock Brake Rotors
What is the advantage of drilled and or slotted brake rotors over stock plain brake rotors? The advantage of slots is that it dramatically improves stopping power. Each brake disc is machined with four to five slots per side, depending on the vehicle, that extends off the edge of the rotor surface to remove dust and water away from the brake pad surface keeping the vehicle wheels cleaner and allowing for better braking. Additional benefit of the slots is the way it cools the brake pad and rotor surface eliminating brake fade or loss of braking ability.

Semi Metallic vs Ceramic Brake Pads
When deciding what brake pads are best for your vehicle, there are many factors to consider. The type of driving, weight of your vehicle and what is recommended by the manufacturer. Premium semi metallic brake pads are perfect for all light, medium to heavy duty cars, trucks, and SUV's. This type of pad is highly recommended for heavy work trucks, towing applications, performance vehicles, European vehicles and any vehicles experiencing warped brake rotor/discs due to excessive heat. These pads are manufactured with a high temperature fade resistance and a high friction level.
