After drilling 244 1/4" holes and 488 3/8" chamfers they are done. Pics of front crossdrilled rotor and new pads. New shoes for the widened wheels. Still waiting on the wheel man :dontknow:

ummm i dont see any pics

Pics?

Well I managed my attachments right off the screen! Try these.

Did you just randomly drill holes, or is there a method to the madness? What tires are those?

 

[mauiSRT/10]

Nice looking tread!!

Now for the dumb question. The drilled holes just dissapate the heat better than without holes?

nice looking.....

the tires gotta be Toyo Proxys.....yes....?

lets see some pics of those bad boys on the truck

Look like it to me. I'm getting a set of Toyo Proxys along with some new wheels for my wifes FX next week.

Nope. They allow gases to escape between the pad and rotor.

Toyo Proxes 305/40 front, 325/40 rear. Holes help to reduce heat,lets dust and gasses escape through vents in rotors.

Cool...:rock:

Well since I dont have a CNC machine, I measured 61 vents around the circumference of the rotor. I staggered 2 holes per vent measuring from the outside perpendicular to the center of the wheel. First hole first vent 1/2" from outside,second hole first vent 1 1/2" from outside,first hole second vent 1" from outside,second hole second vent 2" from outside and so on for 61 vents. Those arent exact measurements but you get the idea.

not to go off topic but are these guys almost saying the same thing ??? LOL ...

OK, back on topic.......

Cool!!! :rock: Thanks David. I am very impressed

How do gases escape if there is a pad on each side of the Rotor closing the hole???:dontknow: Unless there is enough room inside the holes to hold the gases??:dontknow:

I can see how a sloted rotor would channel the gases out. But I am confused on how holes would acomplish this??

Just curious??

 

[Azmal]

I'm curious on this too... by gas do you mean the expanding air from the heat? I guess if its spinning then the pressure would push the gas into the hole and escape after the hole has passed the rotor? I dunno, sombody give us a lesson

 

[l3it3r]

omg I had green stuffs.. had to get rid of them.. wear on the rotors too fast

Everytime you step on the brakes heat is generated. The brake pads also wear a very small amount. Some of that wear is disappates as dust. Some is also burnt and generates gas. Needless to say, the harder you get on the brakes, the hotter the pads get and the more gas is generated.

How do the holes help? Since we have vented (not solid rotors) the gas passes through the holes and escapes out the vents. Even if we had solid rotors, gas, unlike a liquid will compress. That is why slotted rotors work also. The gas is trapped in the slots, compresses and allows better contact between the rotor and pad.

Make sense?

 

[Nowwhat]

there is some debate as to the effectiveness of drilling your rotors....some say it will help others say it will cause cracking...

What isn't up for debate are the looks.....man those look bad ass....



They should have come drilled from brembo....if their H2 brake kits are drilled and can handle the heat generated by a 6000lb H2 they can handle our trucks...
