I do pull a jeep about 3000 lbs with ready brake and practice the hard stops to reduce speed 10 mph. I put it in 2nd which ends up reducing me to 40mph...but will go faster if I do not brake. I could use first gear but that would not allow me to go fast enough for traffic. It is kind of a point of which should I abuse, the transmission or the brakes. I need to look at the manual to see what the range if for the 2nd gear. Still think the slot and drilled rotors with ceramic pads will greatly improve the braking. Have not looked to see what is there now since this was bought used a couple of years ago from El Monte and am sure they probable used original equipment rotors and pads.
Thanks for the feedback
