Default Re: Drilled & Slotted Rotors

MMZ: Just a slight correction to your post...

When I installed the SRT6 brake rotors and calipers on my Limited last spring, the new brakes / rotors squealed mildly for a few weeks while driving on the street with the new OEM pads. Then, a few days before a track event, I installed the Porterfield race pads... They squealed like a "SCHOOL BUS" on the street, before I went to the track... But then, after the weekend on the track... Not a hush, quiet as a mouse farting...

My mechanic went through the car yesterday and checked / torqued all my vital undercarriage components and was shocked to see that the Porterfield pads show very little wear after an entire season of abuse. And the rotors are smooth as glass, with no ridges... Heck, I thought for sure that I would have to replace my pads before this event, but everything looks really solid... I guess I just have to beat the car a little bit more this year... Perhaps demolition derby... Any volunteers ?

Look at it this way, if your new brakes squeal for a few days, just turn the radio up really loud so you can't hear it and annoy everyone else...
