In today's aftermarket full size truck industry we're always looking for ways to make our trucks bigger, badder, and faster than the next guy. One item that seems to be often overlooked is brake upgrades.
With a slew of products to choose from, it's often tough to decide which is the best, most cost effective route to take. After taking a look at all of the rotor and pad upgrades available I decided to get Powerslot Cryo Rotors and Hawk LTS Pads. I contacted Mark Craig at DPPI and got the ball rolling, credit card in hand, to upgrade my braking system. Great guy to deal with with exceptional customer service :thankyou2:
Got the combo installed over the weekend (simple install except for having two of my caliper slide pins frozen up front) and was sure to follow the recommended break-in procedure after the install.
The combo really shines under moderate to hard braking. The Powerslot/Hawk combo is definately helping bring my modded 7.3L PowerStroke riding on 38" tires to s top faster than with the OEM parts that they replaced.
More pics and info to come in article form within the next week
Special thanks to Mark Craig at DPPI ( www.dieselperformanceparts.com ) and Edwin at Powerslot ( www.powerslot.com)
Parts ready for install :woohoo:
Install complete :rockwoot:
And a little artsy :shake:
Also, special thanks to Denny Hao aka DrSpeed for his photoshop work on the last pic :Cheer:
