Hey Darrel, yes the DeeMaxx slip on disc brake kits like the part # DE46AR perform just as well as the kits that have the hubs integrated with the rotor. The difference is just a preference. Some prefer slip on as it allows you to more easily replace a damaged rotor in the future whereas others prefer a kit that doesn't require sourcing an idler hub as well. For what it's worth cars have slip on rotors basically in all applications and they work great there.
