I've heard some pretty good reviews on these things. I install them Saturday so ill let you guys know how it goes. They are PowerStop drilled/ slotted rotors with ceramic pads. And for the price, they were hard to pass up.

 

YEAH! You got some better pads too right!

 

Drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads were one of the best decisions I ever made on my truck.. I did burn thru a set of them towing a boat 2 seasons though.. sold the boat.. put on a new set or rotors and all is good!

 

I am super easy on my equipment so these pads will last awhile. I will replace them later on when needed.

 

Well this project isn;t going nearly as planned. As I was trying to compress the pistons, my clamp slipped and took a chunk of the piston with it. I had to take the whole caliper off to get the piston out. I just pulled the other brake line off the other side to relieve pressure to compress those pistons, figuring I had to bleed the brakes now anyway.

A new piston is on its way tomorrow.

Btw, I don't even think these things are metal, they seamed to be some clay material?

 

When compressing the caliper, you should keep your inner pad mounted and use that for a clamp surface. It allows an even push to the pistons and protects them from damage.
Also, dont forget about caliper grease. You'll need the purple packages(High temp ceramic synthetic)
Apply to the back of the pads where they contact the caliper. Yes, even on the round piston area, just dont goop up too much and get it all over the rubber sleeve.
