Hello everyone, I need to replace my old rotors and break pads for rear wheels.

I have quoted 330(80$ labor) from local tire shop.

I think this is bit too much but regardless of the price, I wasn't really sure what they are using and if they are going to be any good.

Can anyone tell me what brands and types to buy?

I currently have slotted rotors, so I will just stick to it in order to match them with from wheels.

Thanks everyone

 

really there are so many choices on pads and rotors its mainly up to you... you could always just go with the OEM akebono pads and slotted stoptech rotors.

 

Thanks, but where can I get them online??

 

check out any of the vendors here on this site. all of them have everything you need.


CZP
KNS Brakes
Tunerz Store
JM Auto

 

Thanks! is there some brands that people recommend over oem akebono for having better quality for less?

and what is difference between ceramic and semi ceramic pads

 

I went with the Posi Quiet Ceramic Brake Pads and stoptech slotted rotors and they are great so far.


each type as their pros and cons. you see more semi metallic pads for track use and more ceramic for day to day driving

 

I have the posi quiet pads and stoptech drilled rotors, they are smooth and quiet.
