Default Durango replacement rotors slotted, drilled?

I need new rotors on my 2006 Durango Limited. Recommendations for slotted, and/or dimple drilled, or cross drilled ? Also, what brand names? Thank you

I would think the plain vanilla rotors are sufficient unless you are racing. Brembo and Wilwood make great brakes, but I am not sure if they also make the rotors.

Just get blank OEM style rotors. The only thing you will have are lighter pockets with no usable benefits unless you take your Durango to the track. Waste of money for our SUV's.

Specifically, which one did you choose, the "performance slotted' ? Howlong have you had them on? Thank you.

Rcatty:

I have had good luck with the AZ Duralast rotors. I have not tried their Valucraft line as it seems to be not much of a savings and unknown on quality.

Just get the top of the line blank (non-cross drilled, non-slotted) rotors, a set of good pads and beed them in properly.

If you change the rotors/pads yourself, before putting the pads in, put them on a concrete surface and slide them back and forth long ways to make the surface of the pad even. After you are finished with the brake job, pump the brakes a few times before driving away. Then do a series of 45-5mph hard braking events (3-5 times) to beed the pads into the rotors.

Enjoy your new stopping power.

brakemotive76 on ebay, drilled n slotted to your door with ceramic padsor if you want to stop on a dime, get the severe duty semi metalic truck and tow. oh and about $200 on your door step.

I have installed at least a dozen sets on mine and friends vehicles. We all love them and FYI, they will stop alot better that the OEM ones by a long shot. No fade and no warped rotors. My Durnago with 22 is a bitch to stop. it stops bette with these and a 3500 boat with no brakes than the factory pads/rotors.

Look at the box you will see the brand...
