http://www.dieselmanor.com/brakes.asp


Just wondering if anyone has used them, and how they like them. I have a set waiting on me if I ever make it home. Now I just hope I install them and not leave them laying around like I did my Brakesmart. I've had it about 4 month's and still haven't installed it. I just need a little pep talk I guess.

Haven't used them but they look pretty nice. Doesn't say if they will work on a 2wd though. I would look into them as long as I could use them on my truck. Sounds like the auto hauling is keeping you pretty busy.

After finding a good deal, I put slotted rotors on the 'stang. Mostly for the bling factor; I can't say I've noticed any improved braking performance from them - but they haven't failed me yet.

I called the manufacture and they said that the 2wd and 4wd has the same part number's. The plus side is they're a heck of alot cheaper than the Power Slot's.

As far as hauling car's goes,,,one week I do great, then the next week suck's. So it average's out to doing ok. I'm not getting rich.

The ART rotors are great! I put them on my F350 Western Hauler dually. I had major rotor issues due to the weight that I pull with it and most of the trucks stopping power apparently being applied to the front wheels. At 30K my stock rotors were shot - they had been turned once are were too thin to turn again. I installed the ART rotors on the front only with a set of performance friction pads. Well, they have been on the truck for over 100K miles and they still stop better than new. I thought the rotors may eat pads, but the performance friction pads are still going strong. It's hard to belive, but it's true!
