What will the normal price be for a set of cross drilled rotors and a set of the Hawk HPS pads? I am far from needing rotors or pads, but will be replacing with this set up when the time comes.

I know you are saying that $330 for the rotors and $185 for the pads is a discounted price, but I'm just wondering how much of a discount it is right now...

When I plan to list these items on my website. According to the calculations of how my boss sets the price, a set of front and rear premium rotors should run about: $375-$385 shipped.

The Hawk pads at Tire Rack sells it for about $222. We sell our Hawks for about $5-$8 cheaper then most brake companies when comparing retail price. However the groupbuy price is at $185 for front and rear hawks!

Anybody get these onto a track? Are they just for show? Who makes the rotor?

I'm going to be putting my SS/TC through hell at the big 3 here in the Bay Area, and I want a rotor that will hold up.

Life expectancy of a brake rotors all depends on how the rotors are being used, what pads are being used with and what quality of rotors are.

These are R1 Concepts Inc. Rotors. Machined in the USA with our CNC specialist. Cast iron grade: g3500 (premium rotors). R1 rotors are backed with a one year warranty on warping and cracking (good for one replacement, due to manufacturer defects). Same diameter size as originals, no modifications needed. Seems like you are local, stop by our shop, I can go in more detail if you like.

Thanks
Steven

Rear brakes r very hard to change out took me and my buddy 3hours mainly with the stupid piston the little cube tool didnt line up then we used needle nose pliers then we found a way to rig up the cube to work remember to push in while using wrench and cube. strongly suggest have shop install unless u have patience.

Looking to purchase this Saturday, I have a 2006 cobalt ss/sc

I want drilled and slotted rotors front and back, hawk pads front and back, and does the pads come with the metal brackets?

Because the rear calipers are adjusting for the e-brake. Kinda like the drum brakes to with the "Star Wheel Adjuster". They are threaded and need to be tightened back down.
