Re: rotors and pads ?

Joel, if you're looking for replacements, you will want to check out options of cross drilled and/or slotted rotors and ceramic pads. Will get better life out of those pads, and they will generate less heat meaning lowered chances of the rotors warping.

Re: rotors and pads ?

The deal sounds ok, but as far as brake rotors go, I would never buy a set that I couldn't hold in my hand first, just to inspect thickness and weight.

Re: rotors and pads ?

My setup is getting close to replacement so I got current prices from Applied Rotor Technologies. Pretty fair price I thought.
