Yes I installed the exact same set from the same ebay seller a couple months ago. For the price you cannot go wrong, I have no complaints!

I can't figure out if I want ceramic or semi metallic. I'm reading that ceramic won't wear my rotors down as fast as semi metallic will, but other sources suggest the opposite :/.
WOW, that $1000 bucks is stupid high. I had to replace my brakes and rotors at 40k, they even cleaned out the drums for me and it was $400 TOTAL. It was just the oem rotors, but they are ceramic pads

if it is only during braking, you have a warped rotor. you could attempt to have them turned, but its not a guarantee.
I love my dimple/slotted rotors from BrakePerformance.com
I was told that caramic pads can build up heat while towing, so i went with premium semimetallic. Brake dust isnt toooooo bad. ceramics still dust, but its white instead of black.

my rear brakes via cost me around $650--$500ish of that was parts since no one in town except the dealer actually had them in stock. bleck.

I had to replace my front rotors, one caliper and pads due to a locked up caliper. Went to Advanced Auto and got everything for $245 I think. Did the job myself in about 2 hours and have not had a problem since even towing a loaded trailer 700 miles. Good luck. Oh yea, caliper locked up at 19xxx miles.
