Wanted to change to ceramic pads, have been told to change the rotors as well....can i just get the resurfaced?
What are good pads for LOW dust?
Anyways,
Local autozone wanted something like $350 for cheapest rotors and ceramic pads.
Seems crazy expensive to me.
Went on ebay and found this set for $150 shipped.

Anyone ever use them? Are they junk? I don't race or anything. Just daily driver.
Just want to find out if these are complete junk or will be decent for daily driving?
Seller has 79k positive feedback, most of which is for rotors/pads..... so should I just go for it?
Even has a nice video showing how other ebay sellers are selling low quality stuff. lol

It's only $150 so I'd say try it. If you don't like maybe you might be able to convince a return but probably not likely. But it'll be a loss of $150. The only down side to them is they make a little bit more noise and take longer to stop in slower speeds. When they are not fully warmed up I believe. Not too entirely sure.

I bought the inexpensive rotors and ceramic pads. They stop awesome. They did squeak for the first 1000 miles.
The rotors have not rusted at all. They may be coated in something. They still look new 2000 miles later. I would recommend them if you can deal with the temporary squeak.

Awesome! Thanks matt
Member
What do you think of the pads and rotors?
My rotors were zinc plated so they still look great. They still stop extremely well.
Did your squeak?
Member
Nope no squeak. They seem to work just as good as w.e rotors/pads that were on before tho!
