Default New Rotors and Pads

Did a little modding today. Nothing major, just some of the D & S rotors from brakemotive. Have to say that you can't beat the price. For about $140 got the rotors and pads, Advance wanted $142 + tax just for rotors. Took them out and bedded them in a little while ago. Much better than stock and they look cool too.

Looks good. I have to change my rotors and pads here soon cause the stockers are terrible. I want to get the srt front brakes but that will cost over a grand just for the front so I guess ill just go with the cross drilled and slotted like you got.

Looks good Teach! I like mine as well, like you said, you can't beat the price. I obviously didn't install mine exactly correct (as far as the grease or w/e), and/or bed them correctly cause they squeel when coming to a stop slowly. Rather annoying, but....... They do stop, haha.

I didn't have a great parking lot to use, could only get my truck up to 20mph or so before I ran outta realestate.....

Just took them for a ride from the garage to my house and there is a noticable improvement over the stock rotors and pads. Of course, my pads were pretty low so anything would probably be an improvement over what I had. Would recommend these to anyone looking for new rotors.

Whoever originally found this deal on eBay is a lifesaver. I would have ended up paying so much more for stock replacements if it weren't for this deal.

I was actually disappointed to see that my rear pads and rotors were fine when I checked them. I was hoping to get all 4 rotors but don't need the rears just yet.
