Yeah, that sounded like a good deal on them. I'm anxious to try these out tomorrow after I bleed the brake system. Then again I haven't had the truck out of the garage since last November so I'm just anxious to drive it. How much did the rears cost? I think your new rotors look pretty cool as well. I'm almost wondering if I should've just gone with the Power Slots all around instead of EBC's up front and Powerslots in the rear. I'm impressed with the quality of both pieces. We'll see if I still say that tomorrow after a test drive though.

 

You gonna use stock fluid?

Im switching to ATE SuperBlue, Ive heard many good responces to the switch

 

I'm going to stick with the standard dot 3 unless Advance Auto has anything else. The reason being is that you can get dot 3 practically anywhere. Sure, I shouldn't ever need to add any fluid but knowing me there will be the one time where I will have to. lol.

 

Check out what the fluid im using says:

"ATE Super Blue Racing brake fluid has a dry boiling point of over 530 degrees F, far exceeding DOT 4 standards. Mixes with any other DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid. Super Blue absorbs moisture very slowly, so you don't have to change it as often as many high-performance fluids. Great for your street car that sees weekend track duty."

So you can mix in another dot 3 or 4 with no problem. Im expecting the fluid to contribute to an overall huge leap in performance with my brakes.

 

dont forget to break those brakes in

 

Re: price, I got the front n rear rotors and pads for under $400.

 

Took the truck out tonight after finishing the project. I think I broke them in properly. I made about 5 or 6 runs from about 25mph moderately/steadily braking to about 10mph. Then I made 3-4 run from 45mph down to 10mph. All I can say is this truck stops like right now! The stock tires give up pretty early and all 4 howl severly under hard braking. I'm impressed at the improvement over the stock setup. The braking seems to have a much more positive feel. I'll be taking it easy on the brakes for awhile to allow them to fully break in. Then I will really go out and test the 60-0 distances and I will post a follow up then. So far, this project was definitely worth it. The only snag I ran into was that I can't find my lug nuts for one of the front tires. I have no clue where I put them. Good thing I had an extra set.

 

lol you are going for the truck 60-0 fastest list.

 

 

I might as well, I don't think my truck would fare that well on the fastest truck list. I'm kind of going for a decent all around performer, sort of like a sport touring truck. Hmmm, maybe I should have just bought that BMW M3 in the first place.
