I'm looking for a set of rotors for my truck. The factory rotors are warped up in the front. I've already had them turned once, but the truck still has a bad vibration when I'm on the brakes. I guess the rotors are just really warped. They didn't look good at all when the guys turned them, so it's time for new ones. What are the best ones? Drilled and slotted? Where can I get them?

 

dont get drilled. i have cryo treated slotted rotors from powerslot. i got them from diesel performance parts, i think genos garage has them also. those combined with hawk brake pads made a big difference on my truck

 

Try these,their not drilled,just dimpled and slotted.

How did you warp those?

I have tried hard for 130k...and heck the OEM pads lasted every bit of 120k in the front. Still going strong in the rear...

Multiple trips down I-70 East into Denver with 50k in tow and the tranny in nuetral?

 

I have no idea how I warped them. I'm not hard on brakes by any means if you ask me. Dealership blamed it on the larger tires. Lol. Thanks for the indo guys.....

 

When i first moved to cali I warped mine pretty bad but for some reason they dont seem warped anymore. They seem to actually be a little bit better then before I moved out here. Who makes aftermarket brakes for our 06-08 trucks. I havnt been able to find something and Dodge wants $120 for pads.

 

i think what happens alot of times is the pads heat up so much when the brakes get hot that when your sitting at a light or holding the brake at a stop part of the pad gets "burned onto" the rotor creating high spots. that causes the vibrations more than warping

 

check out racepages.com for the power slot rotors, when i purchased mine they were cheaper. If you know someone who deals with a Keystone supplier they can also get them. I paied 110 each for them. I did not buy the cryo, just the regular. ECB, Centric and a web sire thebrakeman.com also sells rotors.

 

I havnt ever had ceramic brake pads but I hear they are just about the best you can by. Any experience????

 

Ceramic pads are a good way to eat up the rotors...
