Brake pads found in this kit feature a premium compound that provides more stopping power than any other stock pads. When these pads are used with a matching set of GT slotted rotors they can significantly improve brake performance and longevity. GT Slotted rotors are precision machined in the USA to deliver the smoothest braking out there. Thanks to an asymmetrical slot pattern, slotted rotors provide smoother pad engagement at any speed, which makes them perfect for braking under extreme conditions. The slotted design pushes out brake gases, dust, and other debris for a smooth pad and rotor contact. Manufactured from high-quality iron alloy with the highest possible degree of resistance against distortion, warping, cracking, and wear as well as thermal stability, these rotors easily withstand extreme temperatures.

The internal vane design of these vented rotors by Wilwood provides excellent heat dissipation during brake cycles. As the wheel spins, the vanes around the edge of the rotor draw air in and pull it through to help cool the rotor. With the extra heat dissipated there will be less brake fade. Slotted rotors by Wilwood are a great alternative to drilled rotors. They serve the same purpose of breaking down hot brake gas but provide better resistance to cracking. The slotted pattern allows for increased pad bite and improved air circulation. The slots help to sweep away water and dust. If you drive hard, race or use your vehicle off-road or for towing purposes, slotted rotors are a perfect choice for you.

At very low speed (2-5 mph) apply brakes hard several times while turning steering from full left to full right, repeat several times. Remove the wheels and check that components are not touching, rubbing, or leaking.
Carefully examine all brake components, brake lines, and fittings for leaks and interference.
Make sure there is no interference with wheels or suspension components.
Drive vehicle at low speed (15-20 mph) making moderate and hard stops. Brakes should feel normal and positive. Again check for leaks and interference.
Always test vehicle in a safe place where there is no danger to (or from) other people or vehicles.
Always wear seat belts and make use of all safety equipment.

General Warnings:
