Detroit Axle brakes

Anyone running Detroit axle rotors and pads on their NNBS caliper upgrade?

I’m about to install the NNBS calipers I got from @Rocket Man, and wondering if anyone has tried these.

I haven't but I always make it a habit of reading customer's reviews. I read a few on there. Seems if you have an issue customer service sux.

Ya indeed, the high number of good reviews caught my eye, however the negative reviews also mostly mentioned that the pads are very dusty and/or wear down super fast.

And 1 said they didn't fit.

You sometimes get what you pay for. I actually bought a Detroit Axle Front Hub just because it was priced so cheap with free shipping and was surprised how good it fit and it looked like the NAPA one I installed on the other wheel. Time will tell I don't put that many miles on and I can change it out with a better one if I have too.

I seem to remember Detroit Axle having quality issues with some other parts, can’t remember which exactly but from what I remember it was stuff wearing out super fast. I just read the first 20 reviews on these and I can say I sure wouldn’t be buying them myself. There’s quite a few people that said beware of the dust and the ****** pads in general. If it’s brakes, I go with a known good quality brand.

I think this is one of the conversations you are thinking about.

You should read the linked post. You could be riding with a ticking time bomb. There’s a time and place for cheap parts, and steering, suspension or brakes are neither. I would buy some Timken hubs before yours comes apart while you’re driving down the highway and causes a serious accident.

Thanks, yeah that’s one of them. Bad stuff. Companies like that should be sued until they have no money left.

I just wanna add its brake pads. I would try it. It's not something crazy like a hub that holds your wheel on. Which I gotta say I have a 04 Tahoe with 3/5 drop an sitting on 24s so u kno it's not good on front end parts. Well I bought some Detroit axle hubs about a year ago an still are doing good No noise or anything. I took a gamble buying them cuz yes if one fails I could lose a wheel. But I've not had a issue
