Seeing as how ART has been very unresponsive to me, I started looking around for other brake manufacturers. Has anybody ever tried a set of http://www.brake-pros.com/brakepros.asp?action=submit&make_id=10&model_id=491&sYear=2002

That's a nearly $4,000 brake upgrade. That's in a whole other league than just slotted rotors like ART provides. Brake Pros also requires an 18" or larger wheel. Excursions come with 16" wheels. Add on another $2500 for a new wheel/tire package, plus the $4,000 brakes, and it's a $6,500 upgrade. I'm sure they outperform standard size rotors and calipers but you're basically comparing apples and oranges here...unless of course they sell regular size rotors separately.
