Good deal, i think even summit brand drilled rotors are atleast $75 a piece.
Gotta say im a little apprehensive about the drill holes getting road salt during the winter. Ive heard a few people complain about little fracture lines coming from the holes although i dont kno if theyre anything more than cosmetic

I went with Napa heavy duty drilled/slotted rotors and ran them all winter through brine, salt, etc. 11k miles on them and not a hint of a fracture anywhere.

Well I just had to slam on the brakes today :(, she stopped effortlessly (if thats a word), I need my rears replaced (defenitely sank my balls into my stomach. My destination was 2
minutes away. When I go out of the truck, smelt something burning. I think its was my brakes? Popped the hood saw nothing, and even re-started the truck and no overheating issues at all.

Glad I did a bit of research here first. I was just going to put ceramic pads on the truck with stock rotors, but the rotors are a bit warped so I need to replace them anyway. I had cross drilled slotted rotors on my 96 Silverado that I just sold, and the braking difference over stock was very obvious. I use hand controls, so you really appreciate the difference in the amount of pressure needed for a panic stop, also probably a couple of car lengths shorter stopping distance. I ordered mine last night. (The cost was about half of what the Silverado brakes cost me 5 years ago) Thanks for the info!

BUMP: Anyone used the BrakeMotive kits recently?

For $250 you can get 4 drilled and slotted rotors and new ceramic pads. All the reviews are exceptional. I know it's cheap, but sometimes a good deal is just that, a good deal.

Im needing to order something today. Thanks

You posted in the wrong section as we have drums in the rear. I am also going on the fact of your Pro Pic.

NICE HOE AND IT IS GLAD TO SEE SOMEONE USING THE SEARCH BUTTON INSTEAD OF SOMEONE CREATING A THREAD THAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED AND AT TIMES BEATEN TO DEATh!

Rumbling?

Mine squeaked for a bit and then went away. No matter what I need bigger brakes to accommodate the biggers rims and 6.0.
