Just in case anyone is looking for a good deal on some Ranger parts

Ordering the stuff to put new brakes on my truck and came across these at Summit:

Normally I wouldn't go for anything high performance on a daily driver / light duty vehicle, but i'm all for a perfromance upgrade at the same price as an OEM item. I don't like overkill, unless it's affordable.

I was looking at them and dont trust them....They're likely to crack on you due to the holes being completely drilled through the rotor...Good luck tho and report back with your findings

 

[sullys_ranger]

the holes and slots are there to prevent cracks. keeps the rotor cool under hard braking

Read the second to last paragraph

The holes are WAY too big in those rotors...why do you think they're so cheap? Personally I would never skimp on brake parts. I value my life too much. But like I said, get back to us with the results if you decide on not taking my advice.

I doubt i'll ever subject them to anything so serious that it will stress them that much, so i'll put them through their paces and let y'all know how they make out. I had Summit racing drilled & slotted rotors on my 90 lx foxbody for years and they worked great - a definite improvement, especially with the 4 wheel disc conversion - however the deer that ran out in front of me while I was making down the interstate doing 70 had sh*tty brakes, and he came right over the hood and into the cab. Deer & Mustangs do not successfully interbreed.

Good bye mustang hello Ranger

Same thing happened to me and my 2000 Mustang. I was on I-205 here in oregon at 4:30 am headed to work. A little nose damage didn't even pop the Airbags and the :whistling: insurance company totalled her. One of the sadest days in my tenure as a car owner. The gave me about 1/2 her value claiming that the vehicles was an unpopular model and I couldn't have gotten that much even selling her before the collision.
