Re: Brake Upgrade For Your Fj

Offroaders often avoid cross drilled / slotted rotors due to the fact that you can get debris / rocks / etc caught in the slots or holes and when it happens it eats the brake pads really quick.

If you don't spend a lot of time in the dirt / rocks, these would be great. Mostly visual on the rotor piece, but you don't see much rotor with the stock wheels. The pads can help, but can also squeak as the compound gets harder. I just don't see brake fade being a big issue on these trucks.

As a side note, I use EBC and porterfield on my BMW M Series racecars, so I am familiar with the products and their usage.
