Heavy braking causes the thermal energy from the friction used to stop to disapate into the caliper, rotor, brake pad, etc. This thermal energy can cause a spongy feeling to occur in your brake system, reducing the overall stopping ability. By adding drilled and slotted rotors and high performance brake pads, you can eliminate the heat problem. Watch the following automotive how to video by MOTORZ TV very closely and take notes! You can have a smooth installation if you follow the correct procedures illustrated below.
