as some of you know i recently upgraded my brakes to drilled and slotted rotors and EBC green stuff pads. never really felt the need to slam on my brakes. saw an opossum in the road tonight and decided to test them out, and holy hell ive never stopped so fast in any vehicle let alone one that weighs over 5K. i felt like my brain was coming through my skull. well those of you that asked if if felt any difference, my answer is hell yea, and id recommend the upgrade to anyone.

 

you stopped for a possum? i usually speed up.

did you do anything to the rears ?

 

i painted the drums with bedliner paint, does that count? i acually need to check them to see if they need new shoes

 

Ya, I have slotted Brembo's in the front with ceramic Akebono pads, and it really stops great compared to stock. Good upgrade if you plan to lift and run big tires. The extra braking capability is very important in keeping a lifted truck safe on the road.

For the rear, you should upgrade the drums to disks.

 

Did you get the 7000 series , They work and last quite awhile, i'm needing to replace them again prob got 50,000 miles on em,and i drive like i stole it!! but not looking toward the $100+ price tag just for front pads.

 

should have hit the opossum, threw it in the back on the truck, and had a nice suppa lol.

 

lastrights did you do the rear disc conversion? i was wondering how hard it is

i thought about hitting the opossum, but my brother already has one in the freezer so i figured id let him live lol

 

lol...hit it and toss it in the pucka brush
