Default Brake Rotors

Hey guys I was wondering, if i went with these brake rotors in front http://www.howellautomotive.com/inde...OD&ProdID=1477 and then went with a different brand in back would there be any problems with the brakes or would i be ok?

Your one of the lucky few non-R/T, ACR, SRT-4 Neon owners that have four-wheel discs . Its always better to do fronts first when youir repalcing rotors, since 70% of your braking is done by the front discs...what kind of pads are you going with?

Oh and if you want "cheap" cross-drilled/slotted rotors just buy some off Ebay, I've had mine on for over 35k miles with no trouble at all...the Beaer, SP, or Powerslot rotors will be better though.

well which rotors do you suggest off ebay for one... even though im uneasy about buying brake stuff off ebay.... and im not sure about pads... with new rotors you have to put new pads in right?

Yes, anytime you replace rotors you need to change pads, the best pads out there for street use IMO are the Hawk HPS pads, but I've been running Duralast Gold Cermaic pads for 35k and the only complaint I ever had was the pads glossing over just recently, but thats going to happen with any ceramic pad ont he market over time...

As for the Ebay rotors, I bought mine from Cquence Motorsports, but if you dont feel comfortable buying Ebay rotors then just go with some other name brand, either the Beaers, SP rotors, Powerslots, or OEM replacements.

yea i mean its one thing when a major company that makes rotors and brake components all the time.... but its kinda different when some guy wakes up one day and says "hey today im gonna start making brake rotors in my garage and selling them on ebay...." ya know what i mean? its like i dont want to get sent a faulty rotor or something.... but i dont know i will have to sleep on it....

Well, its not like its an amature operation making the rotors, they're just generic rotors that are made from OEM quality blanks in some factory somewhere then sold by the bulk to these Ebay stores, among other places. But I totally understand why you wouldnt want to buy them.
