Post subject:  Brakes again?
Seems like there've been a couple posts regarding brakes recently so sorry to bring this up again. Two questions though: 1) Are these really worth the difference in price over OEM? and 2) Does anyone have a line on these rotors (as below) at a better price? i've priced the following online:

EBC (3GD Sport) = $190.24
Powerslot = $192.00
Napa High Performance = $ ? ? ? (will have to call i guess)

These are a bit more than anticipated as i've never upgraded rotors B4. Heck, i've never had to replace my rotors B4. My last car was a '90 Honda Accord i bought used w/new brakes and rotors and i never had to replace them (rotors).

Thanx in advance! :wink:

My NAPA High Performance Cermaic pads were about $200 total for front and rear. They also resurfaced my warped rotors while I waited for $10/rotor.
I have been very, very satisfied with them

Powerslot rotors $86 each for front and $78 each for rear.

Ceramic pads can be bought locally, at least that's what I did.

The stock MOPAR pads are ceramic. So when you "switch" to ceramic pads, you aren't really getting much improvement.

The rotors should never be turned. Always replace the rotors once they have warped. Turning the rotors is only a short term solution, that in the end, will cost you more money when you have to buy rotors anyway.

Napa basic rotors will perform just as good as the slotted units and they're half the cost so when you need to throw them away it won't be so painful on the wallet.

I just did the EBC Yellow and DBA rotors and I have really good results so far. Pull down from 100+ is fantastic and no heat issues so far. 400+ miles so far.

Pull down from 100+???! I hope that was just to see what they would do in an extreme situation. :shock:
