Installed new rotors & brake pads this weekend

You can get the VHT paint at about any parts store.

Looks great, nice detailing!!

That looks great Andy!

I saw these rotors on NAPA's site for 100 bucks each with a 12 month warranty. I've never seen a cut pattern like this before, I wonder how these would stop.

As awkwardly as they look?

HMM, I like RED . I may have to do this some day. Where did you get the VHT paints

I found them at AutoZone & O'Reillys.

How are those brakes holding up Andy? Post a review, I'm searching for brakes as we speak. I was thinking about going with the Powerstop pads and rotors like I put on my wife's car a year ago, but looking at all available options right now. I like the brakes on her car, they stop VERY well, but my only gripe is that the "zinc plated" rotors rust VERY easily, every time they get wet. Other than that one problem, they work and perform great!
Just tell us how those Napa rotors are working out.

Update from today, I "had" to stop quickly because of the ID10T coming 3-lanes over to the offramp and didn't see me, jack a$$! The pads grabbed onto the rotors nicely, it actually surprised me how well & how fast I decreased my speed.

Thanks for the update. I may end up getting some of those same rotors if mine can't be turned.

They're lifetime warranty against warping and their "no turn guarantee" as long as you own the vehicle, cannot go wrong with that !

***UPDATE***

These Duralast Gold Cmax brake pads SUCK!

I've never had so much brake dust. I started noticing this after a few hundred miles this fall and decided to keep an eye out for it. I do wash my truck regularly.

This is what the wheels looked like in-between snow storms & any salt on the roads (so the road conditions didn't play a factor into it), this was also taken after a previous week's wash.

These brake pads also have scored my rotors. I guess I'll be taking advantage of the Duralast's Lifetime Warranty & getting some better ceramics.

Wow


Anyone have recommendations for pads that don't put out so much dust?
