    Mine and others I have had access to have all felt squishy/ soft. I mean they STOPPED. But you know what I am talking about. I just took my pedal off the floor and now I have it back up all the way and when I touch it. :spy: Man, when I touch it.... Yeah, exactly! Stops me in my tracks :devil:

    I need to get the skinny pedal that touchy. SC in the future. :burnrubber:

    was a bit scary towing that pathfinder a few hundred miles a few weeks ago. These would have made me a little more confident in the trip.

    Not to mention the 2-4 horse trailer that i occasionally was moving around for a buddy for awhile there.

    If you think you need them, you probably are way over due for them. :cool:

    No, not at the time. Luckily no damage one way or another. Looking back though, made me start the process of looking into the E-Fans and other things like a larger tranny cooler too. already have the tow package, but the heat kills. Torque app has done wonders for me in monitoring systems.

    Many additional upgrades planned for the future. Can only tackle so many at a time. Funds are always the issue. Budgeting and side jobs.

    You'll probably be fine. Its mostly a problem with cheap parts or racecars being beaten constantly.

    Mine was 'clean' with no dirt/ dust in FL for about 10hrs. Then I hit the trails and beaches again with the kids. Bon fire on the beach and all the dirt I cleaned off is back and smiling at me.

    2 hrs of cleaning down the tubes. :(

    Searched for PICS of Cracked Drilled Rotors. Came up with Dimpled/ slotted, drilled, and everything in between. All cracked, or micro cracked.

    As you said though. I should be fine. They make these for race cars too!/ :)

    I liked the drilled for the sand i was in. Haven't ever seen a rock stuck in one, but sure in rare instances it happens. Sand cleared the rotors and found no trace of it after we got unstuck.

    Was in up to the pumpkin in a sandy pit.
