Yomama, half an hour with my 13 yr old daughter crying because the pedal was all the way down and I'm frustrated because no fluid is coming out. She was pressing the left foot rest! :

I spoke to the guys at Wilwood before getting new rotors. They say that cross-drilling reduces braking surface area by upwards of 50%, and that there's really no out-gassing problems now. That was a thing of the past with organic compounds. I went w/ the PowerSlot rotors for my 4runner (brembo blanks that are slotted), Porterfield R4s carbon/kevlar pads, Earl's custom SS braided hoses, valvoline syn brake fluid (about 1.5 qts). Oh, I put a new FJ80 MC in there, too. Huge difference in performance. I think the slots in the rotor help prevent pads from glazing in general, but maybe that wouldn't happen at all with the composite pads I used. BTW, prev. rotors were cheapos (non-OEM)..warped after only 1 yr. No warping w/ the brembos after 1.5 yrs. I've never tried DBA.
