What kit is this and where did you get it?

Got mine off of ebay, new, included all 4 rotors, drilled and slotted plus the ceramic brake pads included shipping for a grand total of $214! Still looking and working great.

Hi,

My brake light is coming on and then going off daily and I know it is time to do the front brakes.

My question is which kits are you all buying off of ebay? I see a number of them listed. I only do street driving and even that is rather tame. My biggest concern would be brake noise, then brake dust. I am sure any quality pad/rotor will have plenty of stopping power for my driving style,

Thanks

Mike

If your rotors are still good (not scored/grooved) and level, could just go with new pads (and sensors). I'd suggest Textar pads, they're the OE supplier. They are a bit dusty (as are the OE pads), but they work very well.

If ya don't like dust, ceramic pads are the way to go.

As for the lugs, you could go aftermarket and get chromed. The cheaper ones are chrome plated, so yes, you'd still need a softer socket to stop the plating from coming off and rusting again in a few years.

Could you post a link to what you purchased please if possible and if allowed on the forum?

I need new rotors and pads too and I am looking at a whole set of C-tek plain rotors and Posi-quiet ceramic brake pads that are coming out to $260 shipped from brakewarehouse.com.

Could anyone throw light here please? Thanks.

I did a search and think I found what you were talking about:

Front Rear 4 Performance Drilled Slotted Brake Rotors and 8 Ceramic Pads M220502 | eBay

What would you recommend brakeexpert? The C-tek with Posi-quiet for $260 or the ebay variiety for $211? Thanks.

I am putting these on the rear and have had the fronts on for 12k miles and they have been GREAT!
Big difference in immediate stops and they look great and no brake dust on the wheels!
