Nice work, that's what I mean. There's the bold group VX, and then some have created their own. I think that's great. I kind of wanted to use the group VX to be cut out of thick steel, and then just let it rust like crazy.

I soaked one cap in go-gone for a few days, didn't do anything, BUT I didn't think of a HEAT GUN! I got one! GREAT IDEA! Will report back!

So do you find that these increase stopping power? I hear conflicting reports on whether slotted/cross-drilled rotors make a difference. And what are the OEM pads? Semi-metallic?

I don't know if I can make a fair comparison because within just a few weeks of owning the VX I replaced the OEM rotors with these R1 Concept rotors and the ceramic pads that came with them. At the same time I also installed braided steel brake lines from Independent4X. I have oversized tires so heavy breaking is different for me than someone with a different tire/rotor/brake pad/brake line configuration. I've heard that the OEM pads actually work best with drilled and slotted rotors. I really don't know. Some here on the Forum should chime in.

I've got some extra weight up front now too, my rims and oversized tires probably add 50 lbs. or so + the 150 lb. skid plates, so I imagine if anything I'm heavier than you. Just trying to figure all this out well in advance so I'm not trying to make a decision with her up on the lift for a state inspection or something.

L-Dub has those rotors as well I believe, and he has those 35's on his.
