New Brembro Rotors added

Just on the front for $300. was that a good price? Motorcraft was a lot more. i really didnt look around cuz i needed them quickly cuz i also got pads. These seem to help me slow down a bit quicker, which is nice with all these rear view mirror drivers all of a sudden. Whats up with that?? anyway, i went to a local guy and was from my family. Whose else has them and do u think yours are ok? do they wear quicker? I really only bought them cuz i heard they were good from this site.

Thanks for all the tips helping me figure things out along the way.

brembo and Baer are two of the best. You cant go wrong with them, and if they were cheaper than OE replacements, then heck ya!

I'm wondering why brakes rotors would cost $150 each, unless you are using them for racing I don't see why you don't get some at autozone for like $20?

I like saving money as much as the next guy, but not on anything related to my safety. I'd hate to deal with all the hassle of rebuilding my car just because I got a set of rotors cheap. Lifetime warranty, oh boy! The cheaper rotors often warp rather easily, and while you can get them turned, you're wasting time and money that you could have avoided doing it right for the first time.

Hope you love your Brembos, definitely one of the best choices to be made.

Scott, i dont think he had Baer with his dealer. it was centric, brembro, motorcraft i think.
Knight, sure u can buy rotors very cheap but the metal is made cheap or warps a lot more and they wont cut them. i think the other basic brand was Centric. but i feel like stopping and not wondering how long its going to take me to stop if i had them $20 ones. AND these are slotted. I clearly noticed the diff. i will be replaceing the other set with the same ofc. I had 15% not touching and thats on org equipement.

Btw, nice hat Slayr.....

right you are, safety is something you should not play around with, plus this is your baby and you should try and put nothing but the best that you can.

Nice! And by the way, Brembo rotors are OEM on the Cobra, Mach and Bullitt . . .

So, you can't go wrong with them!
