Amazon Rotors and Pads
Hello, has anyone used these amazon rotors and pads? I need to replace mine as the steering wheel shakes at highway speeds while a brake (I got the wheels re-balanced and that didn’t fix it). Just wanting to know it’s a good product and will fit my car like OEM. Thanks!

what are the clips for? i went mid range i figure brakes and tires are not where you want to cheap out. this set up cost me 361.91 shipped.
i am very happy with these i like them better than the brembo's https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...=1501817&jsn=1 https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...=1501817&jsn=4 https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...=1501817&jsn=7 https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...1501817&jsn=10 |

I’ve seen what I ‘thought’ were decent packages that included drilled / slotted rotors. Who has run a “middle of the road” drilled rotor with genuine Brembo pads? Asking for it? I know I could look it up but... And who would recommend using straight stock (Brembo) stuff only? I tend to go OE parts in my old age. To many times been burned.

Cheapest I would go with is Powerstop or StopTech. I went with the StopTech drilled and slotted set, but I changed to Hawk Ceramic pads after a couple thousand miles because the pads they came with were ass. If I was tracking the car I would change to a slotted or regular rotor to avoid cracking.
Looks like they used a generic picture that they probably use on all their different vehicle listings.

I have no data to back any of this up, but I have just heard so many people say that drilled rotors are prone to cracking, especially if tracked. No idea if it's true or not though. Personally, I can definitely say that I got them 100% for show. They sure do look cool.

I bought mine on Amazon last year. Brand is "Detroit Axle". I paid $168 last year. Looks like they've gone up to $198 now. Full set. They have performed quite well for me.

I like how these are Callahan brakes. Good to know Tommy saved the factory and is doing good! I'm sure you've seen what happens with "the other guys brake pads".
sorry I have nothing useful to add

I switched over Granatelli drilled and slotted w/Hawk performance ceramic pads 7 years ago. Got rid of those ugly roller skates. The club I belong to run the Watkins Glen road course twice a year. And i have never had a problem with them getting to hot or cracking. And on the track you do alot of braking. I put 35,000 miles on them.

you need to be careful with amazon, a lot of counterfeit parts out there. amazon will honor a return , but you are really the one who suffers. buy from a reputable source
