I would pass. Price is high, rotors look like crap, and you cant really see the brakes well. Its just for that amount you could get ones with a good review, not unknown review. Just my opinion.

I recommend stoptech rotors with hawk pads both are top notch quality wise and definitely a bit of a upgrade over oem. Check out EndLess RPM they a have a few choices can't go wrong with any of them

We have our Acurazine packages we put together to help our customers save money. Our Premium Blank Package is available for just $315. The Stoptech rotors feature a black e-coating to protect against corrosion, while the Street Performance pads are made from a para-aramid compound designed to increase performance and produce less dust and noise.

Playing devil's advocate, but point me to all black rotors slotted drilled (all the style yo!) + ceramic pads shipped to your door for less than $200 for all 4 wheels.
That means like $30 for the rotor ea. + $20 for pads ea.

Really hard to find a comparable. Not saying it's a good idea, but I'm curious.




Edit: The Stoptech package suggested above is priced very aggressively. I'd go for these, at least you know you get quality and that's definitely high performance brakes. You'll be hard pressed to find a better deal on these anywhere else...

If you are planning to keep your car for a while go to Autozone and pick up the Duralast Cmax pads. They're great with a lifetime warranty.

Sorry but those pad are garbage compare to stop tech or even autozone Cmax. As far as rotor goes i willing to spend alittle extra money getting centric blank over any ebay slotted rotor.

Much better options than hawk for pads.

Brakemotives is even cheaper.

Can't see the brakes well won't be a problem, as soon as you go for a drive, that black part that comes in contact with your pads will turn normal metal colour.
