Brake Rotor Question
OK, new to this forum, but I know that when you need expertise the best place to go is to those who own the vehicles.
I have a 2002 Ford Excursion 7.3L PSD 4X4. It has the junk factory rotors that warp because they do not dissipate heat well enough. We tow a 34' Travel Trailer, which doesn't help.
Anyway, have dealt with this issue for years now, ready to just "break"
down and buy the slotted/drilled rotors.
So...can anybody point me to a reputable place to get them? You put "slotted/drilled" rotors into Google and you get a ton of places that sell them...but that doesn't mean they're any good.
I realize this is the Super Duty board (I posted it on the X board as well), but as everybody knows the X is just the F-250, so I'm hoping somebody here might help also.
Appreciate anybody who can help me.

ART (Applied Rotor Technology) slotted rotors with performance friction pads.
Not the cheapest set-up going, but I'm a serious believer in them. They are a sponsor here at FTE. Give them a look-see.

I bought a set of drilled/slotted rotors and pads from brakeplanet.com. They were extremely competitive in price and I've been real happy with them so far. I ordered flex hoses and calipers from brakeplanet.com and they paid the return shipping for the cores. I've had 0 brake issues since and the performance has been great.
