EE Slotted Rotor's Installed, pics & info...

[Black Magic]

I received my Slotted Rotors and Performance Pads from Explorer Express.com, Installed them and they are awesome! Well worth the money...

Which one would you what?

They look great behind my wheels!!!

The upgrade is completed and the new brakes are Awesome! It is hard to explain. Normal slowing and slight brakeing feels how it should. Very smooth and crisp. However, when I jump on the brake peddle Speed just Stops and so does the truck. Honestly when I was doing emergency style stopping from 60 and above it stoped SOOO Much quicker than stock. Feels like I have twice the stopping power. Not to mention how great they look. The rotor has a coating that keeps it from coroading and rusting up. The bright silver matches my wheels great plus the slots add that Performance look!

& Once Again Hats off to John V at www.explorerexpress.com Fantastic service and resolved an issue with the wrong part nextday! They really do care about their customers. :t:

imp: Note: Here is another reason why it is good to have an O1+ Sport vs. anyother Explorer. We have Larger Rotors than everyone else. The O1+ Sports have the same front rotors that the Sport Trac Trucks have. The Rotors measure a full 12" across. Where as all other models measure 11.25" across. Not a ton of difference but still made me happy!

Looks great! What brake pads are you using? Also, did you bleed your master cylinder?

 

[Black Magic]

The pads are Performace Friction, Carbon Matalic.

I just poped the bleeders for each caliper as I installed them.

thanks BM, This will be my next thing to do.

 

[Black Magic]

Cool, you will love them. The difference is great!

Cobra Rotors or Cobra calipers? Neither one are going to bolt on. Check out the brake specials we have going on this site.

$92.95ea. for the AWD is a competitive price.

Looks great on there Black Magic. I also have to agree about EE's customer service. Hey, and thanks for buying Canadian!

Those look great but why are the 2001-2003 Sports bigger i didn't know this plus how do i order them from Explorer Express do i order Sport Trac ones or juts tell them its an 01 Sport. So there powerslot though thats real cool.

 

[Black Magic]

Just tell John you have an O1 Sport. I think they have that little info in their book now. LOL, It just took shipping mine back and forth.

 

[Black Magic]

It was $465.80 for all four ExplorerExpress.com Slotted Rotor's and all Performance Friction pads.

 

[Black Magic]

For all the same Rotor's and simular pads from www.truckperformance.com was $481.94.

Plus more importantly, my money went to help a sponsor of the site and an all arround great company that catar's to the Explorer Comunity!

 

[Slush Box]

Thats realy great BM i can't wait to get my hands on some of these. Christmas Money please lol. Oh plus my birthday is in January awesome thats more cash there. These upgrades will be great for my Autocross adventures.

I am curious, would the larger rotors fit older years? Is it as simple as just replacing the calipers to fit over the larger rotor? Would 3/4" be worth upgrading?

Just wondering, not neccesarily going to do it.

 

[Black Magic]

I doubt it would be worth paying for all the parts for a gain of 3/4 of an inch. Just upgrade your discs and pads.

Just thought Id say they look BAD A$$ ... Im in need of brakes, and I think its time for an upgrade !
