I also got sent two extra sets of brake pads by mistake. I mean no i didnt haha.

I'm planning on installing them this weekend hopefully.

Is there anything that is going to surprise me when i change the rotors and pads out?

i got the rotors for 175...through an error though. I have been fighting with the people i ordered them from (not going to say where i got them) for over a month and i finally got them at that price. EBC rotors go for around 240 everywhere else though.

They look nice. How hard is it to put all wheel disc breaks on these dakotas? Anyone done it?

just swap the entire rear end. unless you wanna cut all the bracketry off the factory axle and weld on like durango tabs for the caliper.

Nice rotors you have there. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't drilled rotors notorious for cracking?? hhmmmm

they aren't drilled all the way...this is what the website says:

"Blind drilled holes eliminate the chance of rotor cracking which is common with “through drilled” or completely drilled vent holes."
