Will this brake kit fit a "11" Journey coupe?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005FKC3ZK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_SGK0wbHT16SKH

Need new brakes really bad, got the high speed shuddering. Will this brake kit fit my vehicle, anyone with brake knowledge can chime in. Amazon says it can fit, but last time I ordered pads from them they said it would fit and it did not. Thanks!

The Powerstop K2862 has the 330mm F&R rotors so it WILL work on your X coupe Journey. That price beats rockauto.com and is free shipping so a decent deal.

I just got these autotech rotors and duralast max ceramic pads to go with them and are getting installed on my G now and love the way they look
I stopped by the shop to take a sneak peak on the work they are doing to my car, but looking at the link you posted those look great as well and half of what I payed! :-O lol

Also as blnewt said they'll fit your car without a problem! Best of luck and take some pictures of your new rotors :-) maybe even paint the calipers if that's your taste since you're doing the brakes anyways lol

Will do, was going to go with plain rotors but none of them would ship fast enough so just payed an extra for slotted/drilled. But won't be painting the calipers, I'm still getting the BBK just not now so those will be painted when I get the calipers.

yeah I saw these on rockauto and looked them up on Amazon and it was free shipping so I bought it from there. I see you post a lot about rock auto on previous post that's why I checked there first. You know a lot about G"s specs like brakes, tires etc.. That's why I trusted the product.

You definitely won't regret drilled/slotted rotors not only for their productivity but also the sleeker meaner look they'll give your car

If you want those hat, slots and drilled holes to boldly stand out you can mask off most of the rotor and leave just a small untaped area for the slots, and line of holes, and also leave the hats unmasked up to the area where the pads will scrub, leave about 1/4" unmasked into the scrub area and the pads will scrub a clean path leaving the hats, the slots and the holes a bold black. Use VHT "Flameproof", and do a regular pad bed in to fully bake the paint. This will keep your rotors standing out and rust free for a long time.
Here's some that I did a couple years ago and still look the same

Car is quiet and smooth, but the bite isn't there like before. I bedded it in on a long straight road. Could it be brake fluid has air?

Is your brake pedal solid or does it feel spongy? You may need to bleed the out again.

Yep, sounds like you need to do another round of bleeding.
