I like them, very easy to hold on the line. Can I lock up the rear slicks now? Yes, but it is very easy not to. I have found Strange's customer service to have been very good over the years also.

These are the 2 piece rotors for cars over 3,000lbs. 2 piece so they can disperse the heat better and not warp. 11" drums weighed 53 and these weigh 33 so a 20lbs weight savings. 8353370-image.jpg (80 downloads)

Hate to tell you this.. but drum brakes have a better HOLDING ability.. disc have better STOPPING ability.. thats why I went with rear drums on my Rampage.. its a foot brake car

Otherwise I would have stayed with the drums.

However I got some of the dual caliper rears like Wade has and they hold better than the drum brakes ever did. Bill
