I am going to get my brakes done in the next week or so. Any Suggestions on what brand I should buy?. I know their are alot different types out there. Also should I get my rotors cut or just buy new ones? Your Info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Phil

 

Ok, so I know some guys will prob flame this but I did this. I got Monro's Ceramic Pads. They install them for you for like 90 bucks but they are guaranteed for life. They are desigined to last 40-50k and then they get replaced for free all you pay is install after that.

It's a damn good ceramic pad, and then you can put whatever rotors you want udner them

 

www.rotorwork.com sells 4 new cross drilled and slotted rotors w/ pads for 325 shipped

 

Ok I found out today that I definitly need front brakes and rotors,

My rear rotors and pads are still in good condition.

My question by changing the front rotors to slotted and keeping the rear rotors stock will that effect my braking performance?

Also I am going to put new pads all the way around.

Sorry for all the questions I am not that great of a performance guy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Phil

 

brembo,stoptech,baer any of those are good rotors. Hawk brakes are good look up tire rack.com

 

I just bought a slotted rotor kit for $270.00 shipped.

Front Rotors w/pads and rear rotors w/pads

it was from http://www.brakeplanet.com/search_auto.asp


Check out the site. I will take pics when it is installed.

 

I bought the brakes right but I had a feeling that price was too good to be true.

I ended up cancelling the order. I ordered the parts on Saturday and they withdrew the money from my account immediatly. I called them on Monday to see when the order was going to be shipped and they said it didn't hit their system yet. I was like WTF you already too my money and you don't see my order?. THey said it take 2 to 3 business days for them to see the order. Yeah OK!!!!, I let a couple of days go by and I called today.
While I was on the phone with them i went to check my email. I noticed an email telling me that the parts are on back order and they won't have them to ship in like 10 days.
**** I needed brakes a month ago. I can't what 2 weeks for them. so I cancelled my order. Which they where fine with concidering the circumstances. BUT!!!!! they told me it takes 3 to 5 business days to get a refund. WTF is that **** it took them 1 hour to take my money and 3 to 5 days to give it back. Don't get me wrong their customer service was very helpful but they way they handle their accounting department well that another story.
Now I am stuck I need brakes badly and I don't know where to get them without spending and arm and a leg doing so.

Sorry I just needed to fume.

 

brake pads are the easiest install ever! DIY man.

I know how to install brakes I did plenty of brake jobs in my life. I am just having trouble finding a decent price brake rotor in these parts. I am just going to suck it up and buy regular rotors for now at Autozone they are cheap. I already called them and they are holding the rotors and pads for me. I am going to do the install this weekend.

 

Power Slot with EBC pads are a good choice also.

 

I agree. I've had them on my car for a little over a month now and I'm loving them!

 

Well I seen nothing but great reviews on Powerslots Brake Rotors so I am probably going to go with them. Going to install them with some Hawk brake pads which I already bought.

I am in desperate need of rotors in the front so I am going to install a set of cheap rotors from Autozone and a set of Autozone brake pads. Total cost about $65.00 for 2 rotors and a set of pads. Not bad right!!

When I get my refund back from the company I listed above I will buy the new rotors.

Whats your pricing on them? Just a set for the front. shipped to a 10701 zipcode.

Thanks

Phil
