Put on the rotors and pads from brakemotive today

I was weary of buying these but for 99.00 including free shipping for slotted and drilled rear rotors and ceramic pads, i couldnt pass it up and at least try them. I received them fast, in about 3 days. although they did accidentally send me the wrong pads (they sent the front) i called them the next morning and they got me the rears the next day, plus let me keep the front pads for the inconvenience. these look really nice on the car, and ive put about 80 miles on them today in wet and dry conditions and they seem to stop very nice, and no sounds coming from them at all. anyways heres a couple pics just in case anyone else is thinking about getting them, figured it would help some make a decision. and does anybody have any recommendations for new calipers for the rear? I have one that is about shot so im gonna need some new ones.

The rubber inside of it is in bad shape. We had to push it back in.

Do you feel a bigger difference than the original rotors?

Did you not do the fronts with the same setup? That would seem a little pointless since the front does 70-80% of the brakeing.
But 99.00 for those rotors and pads is an awesome deal!

I'm sure you can buy an OEM caliper rebuild kit for quite a bit less than buying a new caliper. The one for my 2000 accord was $30.

i also bought these a while back. I bought the whole set of front and rear with pads for about 189 shipped. I had a little problem with vibration in the front after i installed them and i called them up and they sent me out a whole set of 4 rotots with pads for free.. Great company and great customer service...
