The stock rotors get so hot they cannot help but warp. Ive had my stock rotors turned and looked at a few times so I know its from the heat. Stopping power is lost very quickly once you heat up your stock rotors.
For instance, there is a road near here named stunt road. I drive this road many times weekly so I know how my truck handles and feels on that road and its a good base for comparison. Before with my stock brakes I would start to feel fade by the time I got the to top of the mountain, and on the way down braking would suffer from heat. Now with the drilled/slotted rotors I make it 3/4 of the way down before they start to fade.
I know there is less surface area for the pads to hit on.. but I didnt get them for that, I got them because they run cooler and will not warp like the stock ones did.
These rotors will outlast yours from the simple fact that you will need to turn yours from being warped and mine wont need it. Most stock rotors I have seen, in time either warp or crack.

they will warp faster and cool worse. Re-read my post and the FAQ's.
Its like when people say they feel a cold air intake. yeah, you felt 7hp on a 300hp 5000lb truck...

Its called REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE...
Untill you put some crossdrilled rotors on your truck then you cant talk can you.
And sorry cool guy... YES I did feel my 7hp from my cold intake. Maybe your slow *** truck is too big and heavy to notice that differnce

WHAT performance industry. did you design rotors or pick out bolt ons, motor upgrades, build motors, choose rods and pistons? I know plenty of carpetners but i wouldn't trust them to design my house.
Go to gingerman; wont see any of the fast guys using CD'ed.
Pads do not outgas; 1978 called. they want their brake pads back.
and like i said, spoilers cost money too but most of them still have them and have zero need for them. Looks. Its why the c6 has them and GM flat out stated that. It looks pretty.
ohh yea; wilwood and baer's FAQ didn't sound like an opinion, it was a statement. Why would they put that up to hurt sales if it was just an opinion?

Trey, I have these rotors and can tell that it stops better than before. I'm telling you from experience that these work better, and all you're doing is reciting and copying and pasting....wow....you sure do know your ****
Quit being a ******* sarcastic *****.

Lets not all start getting bent out of shape, I posted those links to encourage discussion, which it did, we dont need to let this thread degrade.
So, when stock brakes fade in the 1st stop from 100mph, is that from heat soak, outgassing, or fluid boiling?

If an intake drops your 1/4 times... but you dont feel it...
MAYBE YOU NEED TO GET INTOUCH WITH REALITY!
