    Couldn't warping be a manufacturer problem as well. Like the iron wasn't a good batch or something. I used to work at a foundry and sometimes the steel we poured would be different. Like one batch was different from a previous one, even though it was the same "scrap" steel.

    If you buy Chinese rotors, expect Chinese performance.

    Yes I read that too. The use of scrap venadium and carbide causes hard spots that don't wear as fast. They heat up and cause warping.

    I have this weird fear with drilled and slotted where something will get kicked up and get stuck in one of the holes and destroy the pads.

    Drilled and slotted is way overrated. In all my years as a mechanic I've seen tons of those rotors crack across between the holes, sometimes after only a couple thousand miles. I really don't think its worth losing all the friction surface. I'd recommend a good slotted rotor if you have concerns about heat. Or drive like me and never use them weird braky thingies!:headbang::mudding:

    Its too late for me now that I have them on order but I wondered the same thing. I'm thinking that slots/dimples might be mainly for street.

    I use a Wilwood brake proportioning valve. It's good for 100% down to 57% brake bias.

    8E9604D0-6195-491F-A264-4CD804469F41-257_b52e4708035002ce708b39170c489bb839ae084f.jpg

    Drilled rotors shouldn't be used on OE sized disks. Think about it...there are holes in the disk. Holes means less surface area. Less surface area means less pad contact. Less pad contact means shittier stopping power. It's really that simple. If you replace your factory rotors with cross drilled rotors, your braking performance will suffer.

    Race cars with crossdrilled rotors are huge. Literally 17" rotors with 6 piston calipers. Far cry from a Tacoma 12.5" rotor with 4 piston calipers.

    Stupid question but I gotta ask... how are you supposed to tell if the bias is adjusted properly?

    Yeah I warped a set of rotors too no clue how it happened but it was an ebc kit and I properly broke them in. I believe the proportioning could definitely increase the likely hood! Guess I'll get new drums and odd for the back when I go to do the tundra swap

    Go on a dirt road. Drive at 20-30mph. Slam on the brakes. Make the rear lock first just before the fronts.

    ...too much shit to list.
    It's completely subjective. Negro-k9's method is a good place to start. I cut off the bar that runs to the axle from the LSPV and zip tied it as high as it would go and went for a jberry test drive. Slammed on the brakes in the dirt at 70 and only the fronts would lock up while the rears moseyed around like a retarded puppy. Didn't matter what speed I tested, rears never did squat. That's when I knew I didn't have enough bias.

    My personal preference...I like the rear's to lock up just a cunt hair before the fronts do. It allows me to pitch the rear of the truck into a corner with just a slight tail brake. I tuned for my driving style, so YRMV. I probably did 30 test runs adjusting the manual proportioning valve recording with my go-pro before I was satisfied with the results.
