Too good to be true? Brake Rotors & Pads F+R $219
Too good to be true? Brake Rotors & Pads F+R $219
I wasn't able to find any other mentions of these pads or rotors, but wanted to see if anyone had any experience with these. Compared to what I've been quoted elsewhere - this seems really cheap.
Thoughts?

wow. probably are :(
like others will say... "Is this somewhere where you want to go cheap?"
I could sure use some new hopefully-lower-dusting pads (if they had em), and for 35 bucks!?...would be great!, though i would guess theyre noisy, rusty, and suck.
Whoknows, maybe someone who actually bought em will chime in

I got F+R pads and rotors from Minicarparts.com, and a front pad sensor, for $316 (shipped I believe). They're only a few hundred miles from me so shipping wasn't much. But I got EBC Ultimax pads and basic stock-like rotors, thy squealed bad at first but after 100 miles all is good. It was a great experience. Dave up there is a great guy, I always reference him on my purchases.
They mostlikely took the cheapest rotor blanks you could find...machined them with holes and slots....I would worry about warping/cracking... There is some really bad crap around....this could be some of the stuff....good way to dump stuff that could be defective...by e-bay...wonder if a large # got returned due to issues....the unsold was returned to the wholsaler...called them surpluss...sold them off cheap.
Are you feeling luckey?!
There a several threads about folks getting "free ceramic" pads with rotors.... And they were so bad, they were worthless...
IMO brakes are not the place to save a few $$.
