Well that's turned me off the slotted and dimpled rotors.

Well that's turned me off the slotted and dimpled rotors.
Bendix have a new pad out, plus the softer the pad less wear on the disc. It's all about what you want to sacrifice I guess.
Affordable enough these days, now to source some pads,
found some "RED" ones in the UK ,higher working temp and less fade I suppose
A lot more home work yet, The Brembo ones have been withdrawn from sale, as the distributer cant get any more.
There is a place down here called Hopper Stoppers that are suppose to get anything to stop fast and safely.
@ NP99 any idea of name ??
Possibly these one that NP99 is referring to.

My last 4B had terrible brakes, so I fitted RDA cross drilled rotors with soft QFM (Queensland Friction Modified) pads and what an improvement.
I was steered away from slotted as noted above the crud gets caught in the slots and damages the pad and rotor.
They said drilled allows the crud to pass through and not impact on braking performance, still allowing a cooling effect..
Sales pitch, I don't know. Had no cracks in them so I don't know what to think now.
I just push harder on the pedal.........lol
That's what she said....Quote:

Definitely improve braking, but as said before mud will just fill them up.
About 2000 km ago I put RDA slotted rotors and bendix 4wd pads on my Patrol. WOW! what a difference! Yes I hear the issues of mud but I am willing to clean mine when its an issue. Well well worth the dollars.
