An 11 inch rotor for a 4000 lb car is just asking for trouble. No one would design a system like that anymore. Go visit a car lot and look at 4000 lb cars with 300+ hp engines. They'll all have 13 inch or 14 inch rotors.




Funny you should mention it... Up through '02, the 4,000+ lb Dakota's and Durangos had 11" rotors and tiny, single piston calipers. And it's no secret the brakes sucked on them!

dont feel bad my brother in laws tahoe has smaller rotors than the cordoba brakes on my dart!looks even more stupid with 26' rims

Barely enough for one 55 mph panic stop.







We should all be dead by now!

The biggest problem is keeping the sheet metal straight when driving in traffic these days.




In the past it wasn't an issue. Everybody's brakes sucked by comparison.
Now you have SUVs that can stop shorter than many old muscle cars. That means the old car has become the hazard.


We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
