Over all they apear to be pretty good quality, we will see over time. After brake pad break in I was really impressed with the stopping power. May have to get a set for me.......

Looks good. Let us know how the dust is with those pads.

cool

Wow, I wish my wife would let me get brakes for her vehicle for her birthday. She wants things like, dinner and clothes. Your a lucky man :lol:

I really cant complain. The wife told me when I was just going to get a 2wd truck instread of a 4wd, that if I wasnt going to get a 4wd there wasnt any point in me getting a truck. She made me a happy man. :banana:

looks familiar

you and your wife will love them the increased stopping power is amazing especially if you are traveling at high speeds, seriously driving at speeds over 100 is alot more comfortable knowing you can stop, with the stock brakes at those speeds you get some feedback from the pedal but not with these rotors just a firm pedal

i have been reall happy with those pads on my truck. I replaced pads at 50K and didnt resurface my rotors and I am at 80K now and they produce very little dust. That is why I went back to those for my wifes truck.

Took a couple of miles to get them to break in but i deffinetly notice a difference on her truck in stopping. I will be getting a set for mine probably in a couple of months(wanting to up the HP first)....lol

If I ever got my girlfriend "Brakes" for her Birthday, she would Bitch Slap Me!.......:lol:

Looks good, I'm pushing the 60K mark and still rolling on the stock rotors/pads guess I should look into getting some new :lol:

Depends on "who" your girlfriend IS! :wave:

haha! I understand that!

are you still mine??? :lol:

unless it says PRADA in big letters somewhere hahaha

Not to hijack this thread...... but only if you buy me a set of those! Rotors, pads, all that good stuff - that a REAL woman would want!!!! :devil: :p

My girlfriend would ask me why I didn't buy the big brake kit if I got her rotors and pads ... :lol:
