Ssbc High Performance Brake Pads Rotors Big Bite Brakes Metallic Compound Brake Pad
SSBC has high-performance brake pads available to match up to the rotor made by Performance Friction. They are made of a metallic compound that is said to last longer, even though it provides a better bite into the rotor. They also won't chew up rotors or coat them like ceramic brake pads can. The taper on the pads gives a cleaner bite on the rotor and keeps pads quiet.

SSBC's Big Bite rotors are CNC precision drilled and mill slotted to dissipate water better, improving performance and safety in the rain. The "Precision Turbo" slotting maintains a clean pad surface, ensuring maximum grip on the rotors.The rotors are also vented with internal vanes to help cool the rotor by forcing air through it. SSBC claims that the cross-drilling pattern on its rotors can reduce brake heat by up to 200 degrees F.

In most of today's brake applications, the rotor will usually slide right on in place of the OEM one after the brake caliper is removed. In some heavy-duty applications, you might have to remove the hub to get to the rotor.
