Thanks,that's good to know! Oh yeah there were a few of those, I knew I was going to replace the rotors so I thought I would use them until they started grinding. The city my college is in is on a big hill so they get some use.

I want to do mine that way too, but the darn original pads have 67K on them and are still only about 1/2 worn. I'm a cheapskate and can't bring myself to replace good parts.
They look good.
I also bought a new pair of aftermarket OEM front rotors from a member on here for a good price awhile back, so I will have to use them first.

I put that same kit on about 3-4k ago, still stopping strong. Great deal near as I can tell, if you bought the equivalent from autozone it'd be 6-7 hundo.

You have a link for the person selling them on ebay? I will look into buying the rotors and get the best pads I can find. Brakes are something I will put extra money in even when I am on my college budget as well

These ones are a great deal and they seem to be of good quality so far. I'm definitely happy with the purchase.

they are a vendor on the forum, if you email them directly you will get a better price than the ebay listed price I believe, thats what I did and they emailed me back a checkout link with the reduced price.

It's my dads, it's so nice to have a place to pull the truck in and work on it. Especially being in Minnesota during the winter.
