Default Brakemotive Rotors

Has anyone ever used these rotors and pads from Brakemotive? They are a vendor on Ebay with good rating and seem to have good reviews all around from different vehicle forums. Thanks in advance.

I was looking into them myself. They still provide Powerstop pads as stated in their auction.
I will say that even with cheaper metals being used for the rotors....The drilled/slotted design reduces the warping much more than even the stock rotors with better metals. I'd be very tempted if I had the extra cash lying around.....

Looks like good value. All this casting stuff is coming out of china, they have the technology and labor to produce castings inexpensively. And believe me they are moving forward economically very quickly. Not a rant, only a observation.

So are they worth getting? Is there a problem with the cross drilled rotors cracking?

JusJay, I just installed the Brakemotive pads and rotors on all four sides. How did you "bed in the brakes". I know that I have read some things like 50-30mph 3 times or something but I also know that it is different for all types. Can you help me out? I dont want to move the truck until I get this info so I can do it right.

bedding the brakes should basically be the same procedure for any kind of setup. I do some fairly hard stops from 50-0 and a few from 30-0 and call it good
