Justin, just saw your Driver/Passenger light comparison. Looked great! Did you notice any different light output while driving?

If they suck, they suck and I'll take the time to save up and get the new ones properly, I just need to get something on my car so I'll take the chance right now. Hopefully they work out for me though

Mike, if you buy the ones from Brakemotive on Ebay, I don't think you will be disappointed at all. The rotors I got seem to be great quality, and are made by powerslot. And they came with Powerslot Evolution ceramic pads. The Hawk pads would be better, but the pads are included, so I figure once I do install them, I mine as well use these pads till the wear out. You just can't beat the price. Rotors, and pads for all around...200 bucks, Free shipping.

I honestly would not tell you to buy them if I was not impressed with what I got. Yes I have not installed them to give you a true opinion, but by looks, I was REALLY pleased with the product, and the price!

I believe a member with a black SS installed these pads/ rotors on his 06 SS, and was really happy with them though.

You may notice a "flutter sound" when you brake right after you install them, but after about 250 miles, it will go away as the pads/ rotors break in.
