not to beat a dead horse, but i just spoke with my co-worker with 30 years of rotor and pad testing experience. He says that in his test that he has ran the cd-ed rotors wear the pad out twice as fast and no braking advantages are gained. HTey even tested, regular cast iron and carbon fiber rotors...craaazy...carbon fiber rotors..now that would be some bling

If I go downstairs and measure the rotors and find out they are thicker than stock will you stop then?

If the cd-ed holes use more pad chances are there is more friction ... thus more braking...

or the holes are eating away at the pad..whichever you would like to think..but like i said, just got some new info thought i'd share..ignore it if you don't like what tested data shows..just don't turn this into a bitch thread again.

LOL...

Anyways... here is a new question... my rotors wernt labeled which way they go on.. so I put the on the way I logically thought they would go, then im watchin TRUCKS and I see them put a Bear rotor on backwards from the way I did mine.

So.. what I need to know now is did I put mine on backwards?

wha the ****? how is your truck driving? hat points out. Theres only 2 ways to put it on, one wont even come close to fitting. Well, unless you have directional vanes like a C5.


Actually, i take that back. you have CD'd so you can put your left on your right? is that what you are saying? It shouldn't matter. Its fubar either way
Nick; who did you talk to?


Silver lake this weekend? Lets see if those tires can float a diesel.

Yea thats what I mean. The only difference is the way the hole pattern goes.

When I looked in the air vents they didnt look directional...

What kind of test was done to determine that CDed rotors wear out pads faster than stock blank rotors with no decrease in stopping distance?

dude, its an $11,000,000,000 company. They can test brake pads. They have brake dynos galore.
