Does any one know where to get a set of 4 cross drilled oversized brake rotors. I really need more stopping power and I love the look. Does any one have any pics of theres. Thanks guys

 

You might check at http://www.tirerack.com

I just received a catalog from them with a lot of new stuff... including brake parts. Not sure if they will have what you want but worth a look.

 

Thanks alot, I will look them up.

 

If you get bigger rotors, I think you will need bigger calipers and pads too

 

well, I definitly don't want to spend that kind of money. I guess what I am really wanting is a nice set of silver cross drilled rotors that will be the same size. I really think that they would give my truck that little extra sporty touch.. Here's some pics of my EXPY..

oh man, I'm droolin' over your truck again. I would say e-bay, i usually find cool stuff on there. you should paint your calipers silver to match the truck.

 

Sounds like a really cool idea. I think I know what my plans are for the weekend. High Temp Paint,Sandpaper,Acetone, and some fumes.Thanks for the idea????

 

One problem with cross drilled rotors is that they end up with stress fractures around the drill holes and have to be constatntly inspected. I installed Powerslot rotors that I got from www.truckperformance.com and they perform incredibly. The Hawk pads make more dust than stock pads, but its worth it since they have saved my butt several times from killing some idiot who decided to take their time and pulled out in front of a 2 and a quarter ton truck going 60. My next upgrade will be to add SS brake lines.

 

Yes-get the slotted and not cross drilled rotors. Our expy's are 2and 3/4 tons

 

Just be aware NO ONE will turn a slotted rotor. You can have cross drilled turned though.

 

First of all, you can't get slotted or drilled rotors turned. Next, slotted rotors will reduce pad life and are only really beneficial for track use. Get a good set of vented and drilled rotors. If they are quality rotors, and they are not used in extreme applications, they will not crack or warp for a long long time. You will definately need new pads, so you can brake them in together, and I would suggest ss lines and a fluid flush and fill. Go with a synthetic Dot 4 because of higher boiling point and other features. Rotors, fluid, pads, and lines combo will net you a huge difference in pedal feel and braking performance. Hope this helps.

 

I beg to differ, I have a set of x-drilled Stillen rotors on my Jeep that I have had turned just fine.

 

"Get a good set of vented and drilled rotors. If they are quality rotors, and they are not used in extreme applications, they will not crack or warp for a long long time."

that's what i thought am dealing with a set right now 1 year old that are warped...badly

 

Check with your local Oreilly if you have one in the area, they can get them for you. I would try to find a set of drilled for sure if not drilled and slotted. As far as getting them turned it isn't a problem drilled or slotted. I have turned many sets of both.
