Brakes

 

What's everyone's opinion on quality of brake parts to buy. On Rock Auto I see rotors from $10 (wholesaler closeout) to $113. Daily driver, economy, fully coated, high performance. And a ton of choices. Do I just choose something in the middle, like I usually do, lol. Or because of the weight we carry, do I spend closer to the top?
 

You do realize it must say for dual rear wheels. That said I like raysbestos and dynamic friction. Dynamic friction comes in several grades. Whatever you do just don't buy Centric. My rear shoes were machined wrong and didn't fit. They wouldn't take them back, said I was wrong. Owner of the company actually screamed at me on the phone and hung up on me. Bad company. Depends on how you drive too. Some people obviously use the brakes excessively. For most middle of the road cost is just fine

Yes, I do realize that. Thanks for pointing it out however. And thanks for the heads up on Centric and the suggestions of Raybestos and Dynamic Fiction.?
 

I tend to buy the better pads, especially? those that come with clips. For a few bucks more, my rig and safety are worth it. Most importantly, make sure rotors aren't worn, grease the slide bolts, and clean all parts that are reused. I also like to flush the lines as I compress the calipers, replacing displaced fluid. Do a total job, the pads are only a minor part of the process
