f1ss Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I am going to begin a complete brake change and will be collecting parts soon. I came across some AC Delco cross drilled and slotted rotors on stylintrucks (yes I know stlyin is cheesy, but was suprised to find AC Delco rotors, especially cross drilled and slotted). I am stock now, and wont be putting up big hp numbers soon (as I will be collecting go-faster parts after the brake swap). I was happy enough with the stock brakes when I bought the truck, I always leave alot of room between the car in front of as I know these stock brakes arent the best. When I do push the truck to its limits, brakes are not a worry (sounds stupid, but brakes would only put me in the woods with this certain act of pushing the truck). So my question is, has anyone tried these cross drilled and slotted rotors? Any feedback/input is appreciated. My stock brakes made it to 64k, and that is good enough imo to go buy the same until braking is an issue with bigger hp gains down the line. I will be adding s/s lines, Motul brake fluid, and the 05+ front brake conversion. Thank you in advance everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerdan11 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Do you have a link of which ones. I am interested too. I am going to need some new brakes and rotors in not to long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ss Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I did a search for a 2003 and these were the results. I did search under a 2005 SS as I want the bigger front setup. One problem I am having is with the pads, organic, ceramic or metalic compound. However, only one set is for awd (front pads) and for the rear only one is for the B4U code (check out the notes at the bottom of info).

Guest jasonhensley22 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Why not upgrade to Baer brakes or something similar? I am about to do brakes as well and have read a lot of good reviews about the Summit Racing slotted and drilled rotors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ss Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I agree a BBK would be best, but I dont drive fast and the stock brakes worked perectly fine for me. When I do splash into big mods I will then have no other choice for safety's sake to go with a BBK. Right now just doesnt make sense, rather save the extra coin and put that toward the mods I am going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only went through one set of pads too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about that exactly with the brakes shown. The hydro boost would be the best remedy no question. I just have to get the truck back on the road and do essentials, then onto mod purchasing this winter and next year will be good I hope.

70chevy03ss Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 The only ones I have and love are the cross drilled and slotted rotors from NAPA. I was also told that they have a new line of rotors that came out that are a little cheaper in price then the ones I have.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
