Idk how I got it honestly, I stay to the 3G side and post in the subsections.

P.S. Does the star mean I'm #1 on this entire forum?

No it's not. Please don't make assumptions. People on the internet believe blanket statements, even when untrue.

I don't need to bash another product to prove another product. STOPTECH and Powerslot are tried and true products. I run their products on my own vehicles and we install these products day in and day out. Many of the people on the forums install brakes once every 3 years; we install brakes daily. You do get what you pay for. I'm not saying the other brand doesn't fit and doesn't work but they aren't as good of quality and generally the price you pay equates to the quality you get, especially when it comes to brakes.

You think because you have a star you can dictate when a thread is deserved of a lock. You'll never fit in here until ggesq bans you.

-____- really guys? First of all, vr6dub or whatever the hell your name was, gtfo with your arguing bullshit. I just wanted to know if they were good brakes or not. Autozone wants like 300 for OEM rotors and crappy metal pads, this is a semi/performance package for 150. Obviously, it is a good deal.

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PROVIDED USEFUL REVIEWS.

Thank you Excelerate for your professionalism. I don't doubt that your brakes are better; however that's not to say that I can afford them right now either. I just need some decent brakes at a good price. When I have a real/non min wage job, I'll for sure look into your products.

Well this certainly got interesting.

I have a set of fronts that I picked up off the black market waiting to be put on, and I think I'll get the matching rears since I realized I need those soon. Can't beat the price and reviews (by most).

I didn't see a consensus on this topic though: What are people doing initially to the rotors to keep them looking nice for their life? I thought I'd heard people were doing something, or painting them maybe.

there was a member in the thread about this that said that painting them was the worst thing he could have done. The rotors are zinc plated and are resistant to rust. There isnt really anything that needs to be done to prolong the life. I dont remember the specifics on what paint they used, but i do know that he painted the edge and the hub and he said it was a bad idea.

^zinc or cadmium-coated rotors will rust a lot less, and in some climates...not rust at all.

i don't remember if brakemotive's are or not...but mine are still shiny after over a year of use.
