Default New pads and rotors

I haven't been on here in a while so I thought I would share my recent project that I completed today. Brakes started grinding last week so I decided to replace all of the pads and rotors. I went with the brakemotive ebay company ones that offer the slotted rotors and pads for a very good price. Overall it went very smoothly and I am impressed by the responsiveness of them. So much better than the old OEM ones I had on. Here are a few pictures, I took plenty so let me know if you want to see more. As you will see some of the old pads were totally gone. Definitely time to put some new ones on.

Thumbs up

That's awesome! I just did the same thing about a week ago. I'm so much happier with them.

It was $210 for all 4 rotors and pads and was free shipping. Well worth it in my opinion. Just did it today so I don't have any long term feedback but she definitely stops on a dime now

oh ok, i didnt see that in the info at first. thanks for putting me on point. fa sho, ur rotors look good. I'm interested in doing a brake upgrade someday, but right now my truck doesnt even go that fast. lol
how long have u had ur truck citori13. Did u get ur ride brand new or was it preowned?? i'm sure that 5.9 runs pretty hard, and i know it can pull a house down. lol have u ever thought about going bigger, like maybe the V10 that dodge has?? holla back.

I've owned it for 3.5 years. I got it from a guy that only used it on weekends to pull his camper. Not planning on getting anything else anytime soon as I am a college student and put most of my money down to buy it. Now I need all the money I can get to pay for the gas haha

I did the same upgrade a while back, and they're still stopping strong. Forgot to record the mileage, but I'd estimate I've put about 10k on them so far. Looks like you burned one pad down to almost nothing at all! LoL
