What is the best all around combination (pads/rotors)? I want something that is easy to purchase anywhere, good warranty, all around performance, last a long time. I have searched, but just trying to verify the information I got.. Thanks for any help...

 

From what it sounds like people are into CarQuest Blue semi-mets and powerslot rotors. But sounds like powerslot rotors the rears on on a massive back order. Also I believe the Hawk pads get good reviews here too.

I just did the CarQUest and love them, 175 for front rotors and pads. A+++

 

My luck has been with the Carquest (Raybestos made) "blue" semi-metallics. Lifetime warranty should be included. The rotors, I stick with regular ones, but while at Carquest just get the better of the choices, usually thicker. The things to remember are semi-metallic, warranty and better rotor. That's pretty much it.

 

Powerslots are no longer on back order.

 

Does this hold true for the Power Slot Cyro rotors? Also, where did you get yours Thump??

 

Has anyone had "NTB" National Tire Battery install Raybestos made semi-metallics that they sell... I bought my tires from them and wondering if I should get my brakes there to.

 

Do it, probably the same as Carquest (Raybestos) semi's, see about a warranty against noise and dust etc.

 

I would recommend Carbotech Engineering for the pads and Brembo OEM replacement rotors- purchased from Diversified Cryogenics. $ for $ it will be your best buy. Pads run about $120 a set, rotors- run about $15 above NAPA oem replacement units- so figure about $100 each.

 

Can anyone comment on how well these work for a vehicle that tows regularly? I usually tow a 5000 trailer a few times a year and it needs to stop.
