I'm going to buy some drilled & Slotted rotors for my Marauder. Now Napa has AE Metallic pads $66- Ceramix Pads $81 - & Severe Duty metallic pad with ceramic in them $79. I'm looking for a set of pads that have the best stopping power leaving my present cal's on. Are these pads really good or is their better ones out their?

Copy cat....... Just kidding. Good luck with getting the rotors replaced. Brake jobs can end up being, quiet expensive.

What about the brake Pads they use on the CVPI's? I heard they are alot better. Any truth to it.

I didn't think so. I had two CVPIs, brakes felt about the same. All rotors warped too :P

We have the same brakes as the CVPIs

Infact, I have been looking for a place to post this...

Since I installed the new Baer brakes, I noticed how nice the MM stops. I also notice that my CVPI really took a beating the other day and the brakes never faded or warped. I began to wonder why the original MM brakes did not seem to be up to the same task with the comparable Marauder.

Then I realized. The MM has 18inch rims, the CVPI has the standard 17inch steel wheels.

Could the difference be in the leverage the larger wheels have under severe conditions?
