Brake Question

I am getting ready to by a set of front and rear pads and rotors, and wanted to know if any body has tried the wheelers offroad brakes they look decent to me. www.wheelersoffroad.com I have also looked at the ARTS but man they are real expensive. I have already been threw one set of rotors already in 25,000 miles. Thanks for any advice.

Performance Friction rotors and pads. For trucks 4/99 and newer w/4x4. They are a little more expensive but you will not warp the rotors and the stopping performance is dramatically improved. Give me a call 888-462-2739

I do not think the ART units are in the same league as the PFC rotors. PFC uses a much higher quaility material to start with than what is used in the stock rotors as well as being a 2 piece unit instead of 1 piece. My opinion is a little biased since I sell them, but I also run these on my 02 EX and had them on my 00 Ex as well. PFC made their name in the race industry. How many race teams do you think use a rotor that has been cryogenically treated. Instead they use a product that the quality is much higher to begin with. When you see the PFC units in person you can tell there is a major difference in quality between them and other rotors on the market.
