WHOA Nelly!




Sunday morning found me laying in the driveway alongside the Charger, said land-cruiser having a badly warped brake rotor needing repair.

Procured from Amazon, an inclusive brake kit containing rotors, pads, and all the hardware and lube required for a proper brake job.

Looking at the makers web site, I found their description of the rotors reflecting exactly what I wanted.  Stress relieved, directionally drilled and slotted, milled true, and plated for corrosion protection and heat transfer.

The pads are combo Carbon-fiber/ceramic.  Low dust, and very high heat tolerance.

All this is required happiness when it comes to putting the binders on my lumbering rocket ship of a land yacht.  It goes fast, but... PEOPLE keep getting in the way, so I have to slow it down.  Sometimes even faster than I went fast in the first place.

After a day of driving said beastie, I am happy with the results.  Smooth and assured stopping, with no sign of heat fade at all so far.

I very much liked the completeness of the kit.  I need only tools, with no added parts or supplies... and I am damned picky about doing brakes correctly.

Mongo says..... good stuff!
