I know that this topic has been beaten to death. However when i did the search there wasn't really a direct comparison between the two and i didn't really get a true answer.

My rotors are now warped and i'm now ready to replace them. I've heard nothing but good things on both the powerslot AND the brembos.

Based on my readings, the powerslots tend to wear down pads quicker, is that true?
Which rotor has the better stopping power? powerslot? or brembos?
I remember reading that Gadget has warped powerslots. Is that a very common thing? What about brembos? Anyone here warped brembos here before?

Are powerlsots worth twice the money as brembos? Do they stop any quicker than the brembos?

What are the benefits of powerslots vs brembos?



thanks for all your help! I"m planning on ordering rotors tonight. So all help is appreciated.

if it is a 3rd gen, look at the new thread about tundra disk upgrade.

Don't waste your money on crap brakes. Check out my thread on the Tundra front disk/caliper upgrade for 3rd gens.

I've thought about it. But i dont think i really have the budget for that kind of thing.
The performance friction pads along with the rotor upgrade should be sufficient. I"m just not sure which rotor.

I miss my powerslots everyday with 33s...

I didn't notice THAT much of a difference when I first put the Pslots/CM pads on when I was still stock (one of my first mods), but man did I ever notice how much the stock ones sucked when I put the regular ones back in (needed the truck and didn't want to wait). The only thing about the slots is that you can slightly feel them. Never bothered me though, I have had them in both of my vehicles and they have cured warping in both vehicles (I roasted two sets of brembos on my volvo 850T5 when I decided to switch).

i have been running the Brembo non drilled/slotted xith factory pads and it is a noticable improvement over stock (W/285s before and after) 50 bucks for the rotors and the pads were cheap, don't remeber how much...

brembos are the way to go. i've had mine for around 2 years w\o any problems.

why not powerslotted tundra rotors and performance friction pads?

(devil's advocate!)

Alin10123

Hmm... now there's an idea... will that fit without any modifications?

thanks

Alin10123

Bah... called the people up that i ordered from and they said my order has already shipping.
Anyways... found a place online that has beaten a lot of other pricing out there.
$197 for the pair.
and only $8 shipping.

Yea i know, i noticed that AFTER i ordered!

Alin10123

But will they fit without modifications?
I know that someone did the tundra rotor/caliper setup. However. since the Tundra disks are thicker... will it fit on our 4runner's without modification?

bump.

dexter

neither. if its that big of a deal do a big brake upgrade. when my 22's get here this spring im doing some sort of a big brake upgrade. somethin about big slotted/ cross drilled 17 inch rotors on red calipers makes me feel funny in my pants

Alin10123

Sweet! that sounds pretty cool. you're probably going to be able to stop on a dime! Well... maybe a few dimes... but still!

dexter

yea if it doesnt end up costing me a million bucks
