Watch This Before Buying Brakes & Rotors...

Your brakes are only as good as the traction that your tires can provide.

One factor is important to the choice of Brakes, the intended use. I see C6 ZR1’s with Carbon Fiber Brakes which , as you correctly stated are stupid money to replace. For the average street driving in North America, a total waste of money unless ( like the Criss Drilled Rotor fad) for bragging only. I drove my C6 (standard Brakes, mostly) on the German Autobahn extensively at fairly hi speeds and never had an issue with fading and such.

Crossed drilled vented rotors help expel heat and gasses faster to prevent brake fade. This is obviously noticeable when driving spiritedly in the mountains and other hilly areas. I've run both plain and crossed drilled for years each (only crossed drilled since), and the difference in braking with crossed drilled in high heat producing situations like hilly, twisty canyon driving (particularly downhill) in Colorado is beyond obvious. Cross drilling (not "dimpling") does make a huge difference.

Awesome video, thank you for this info!

Great information and great explanation. Thank You Sir !

excellent video. Very informative and your not long winded.

Great video, man. Thanks for your hard work.

Very informative! Thanks so much for sharing!👍

Wow! Wow, Wow, and Wow - the accurate, spot on, no B/S Truth about brakes! Super well done.

Great video, thanks!

Thank you for all the information, videos like this are a blessing.

Good video but do you guys have modified hub centric rings to fit over sized rotors on my VW Tiguan??

Thanks. Great information

This was the most beneficial video I've ever watched on breaks. I'm considering a big brake kit on a 2012 Raptor that I track on dirt a lot. I've been dabbling on road tracking it which is where I know I would be needing greater stopping power. Thank you for all of the detail add hard work that was put into this video

what would you recommend for a 2019 F150 4 x 4 with regular heavy towing?

Great information,never knew a great deal about breaks ,now I know much more great explanations 😊

I love brake talk, initially it was hard to find good info. The recommended service life of rubber lines is something i try to preach, it's an interesting issue because the rubber lines will work for 30 years, but people can get to that point, start having problems and not even realize they should be replacing lines. But i find the most fun i have talking brakes is triggering people. You simply can't tell people drilled rotors aren't an upgrade on an open forum without someone taking it very personal. I've been super nice and super factual but still blocked on Facebook over it.

Very valuable information. My wife said it was very informative because she realized that she has horrible brakes on her BMW and she’s only using.three when she supposed to be using one.5.1

Thanks for the video. I driving amg and driving fast all the time. Ceramics brake pads I will buy .

I would replace with similar to what it came with.
