Dear List, Last night I was driving my D and decided to test my car under extreme braking. Remembering what many have said about the braking system on these cars and how the rotors tend to heat up quickly, I figured I would see how much braking would finally affect the braking force. What I found was that about 4 to 6 heavy braking situations, going from around 50 to 60 MPH and dropping down to 10 to 20 MPH heated the rotors up so much that I almost couldn't stop my D if I needed to. Luckily I have a 5 speed, so if I needed to stop quickly after the rotors were heated, I could down shift to help slow the car down (which I need to!). I know that cross-drilled rotors for the DeLorean are available and it helps the rotors cool off as well as gives better braking force, but I have also heard some negative things about them. Does anyone have any more information they can share with me? I would like to know how well they hold up in daily use, how it affect braking, heat dissipation, wear on the pads and rotors, the availability for front and rear etc. What about ventilated rotors; front AND rear? Are they available or are the cross-drilled the only ones? Also, is there an upgrade for the entire braking system? Are stronger boosters available, or stronger calipers? Does Brembo (sp) or any other aftermarket caliper fit on our cars without extensive modification? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I know that under normal circumstances the DeLorean brakes are adequate, but you never know when you may need all the available braking power. With all of the new technologies in braking, like ABS and Mercedes "Brake Assist," I would be afraid to need the power and not have it available in an emergency. Thanks, Joshua D.
