Has anyone purchased rotors from them and do you like them. Sent them an email for a price on front and back rotors drilled and slotted. $280 for all and $80 for the pads.

 

Maybe someone will chime in who's used them. I would be real careful about sticking with a high quality product for rotors. I'm not saying that Rotorpros don't use good quality products, but they seem to be a no name type outfit.

These trucks are so heavy to begin with and even though you might save some $$ it might cost you more in the long run. A lot of guys here have had great luck with the Powerslot rotors w/Hawk ceramic pads. I scored a great deal on some Ford Factory parts and so far No problems.

Hopefully someone will chime in, but until then you can check out what I'm talking about at this link:

I would be careful about drilled rotors for a 1 ton truck. I don't think the benefits of drilling have been proven to outweigh the risk of hairline cracking in the large application. Look at Applied Rotor Technology, an FTE sponsor. Cryo treated, slotted rotors and Carbon pads for about what you are looking at price wise. Many of the guys in here have also gone with the Powerslots and Hawk pads. Either way you won't be disappointed. Do yourself a favor and at least talk to Pad at ART before you make a decision.

 

I purchased a full set (pads & rotors) for my 2000 F250 4x4, NO MORE BRAKE SHAKE, thank the LORD. I tow 10-12klbs. 4-5 days a week and after 7 or so months and 8,500 miles they are smooth as silk. I too was skeptical about cross drilled rotors but rotor pros gave me a 6 month warrantee which eased my mind on the decision. I WILL purchase another set for any other vehicle that needs rotors from ROTORPROS.com. There are higher priced sets out there but they're products live up to the abuse I dished out with no problem. I highly recommend ROTORPROS.com not just for they're products but they're service, before nad after the sale, as well. I hope this helps in any way, Todd

 

Hey guys I have a qwik question, I hear all you talk about replacing the rotors and pads with high performance hardware, is it nessesary to do that? I was lead to beleave the brake setup is better than any other truck manufacture out there. Thanks!

 

sstipiotis, the OEM brakes get the job done, but the front rotors have a tendency to warp and develope cracks under hard and prolonged braking (or even under normal braking). Slotted and/or drilled rotors disapate heat better which helps prevent the rotor from warping and cracking. Upgrading from the OEM brake pads to lets say carbon kevlar pads will give you better even braking which means less brake fade, less heat and extends the life of your pads. If you don't tow and your pretty easy on your brakes, the OEMs will be fine. Weather you just want to stop that 8K-9K mule on a dime or help slow down that several thousand pound trailer you got hooked-up, some find it worth the little extra when it gets time to do the brakes.

 

Do these aftermarket brakes last longer than the OEM type. I am needing front brakes soon, and have been debating the price difference.

 

I have rotorpros and I would use them again. Their price was half of the hawk pads and powerslot rotors. They work great too!

Good luck,
Steven

 

I'm running power slots with the hawk pads got a great deal on them all 4 corners delivered $460. But will try Rotorpros for my Jeep as did not know about them when I bought the P/S's. Also can save on shipping by picking them up down in Orange county. The P/S work great no more pulsing pedal and brake fade. I have used Drilled Rotors from Car Quest on my work trucks with Great results. 03 f35 dully 11000lbs+. No cracks and stock stuff only would last 10000 miles before turning to junk.

 

The brakes work well, they just don't last. I had an F-150 before this (2wd) and went through pads and rotors every 1 1/2 years or so. Ford trucks are notoriously rough on brakes. Each brand has it's own issues and one of Ford's is brakes. I've had my SD for just over a year and can feel that I've got a mildly warped rotor and the passenger pads are nearing the wear indicators. Soon I will be moving to slotted rotors (cryo treated if I have the cash) and some Hawk pads.
