The time has come to change my Front brake pads at (18,500mi). I started hearing the faint squeal about a week ago and decided enough, I don't want ruin my rotors. So I called the dealership and asked how much to change the Front pads? They said to change the Front pads and grind the rotors was $275. So then I said to myself, there has to be a better deal! So I went to PepBoys and bought the Hawk HPS front pads for $65 figuring I might as well get better pads. Then I got to thinking...I could install the pads myself and just buy new rotors (X-out having to get them ground by someone else). So I did a forum search on a particular brand of Rotors and found nothing. This is where I need your input

Has anyone ever heard, seen, or purchased aftermarket rotors from ROTORPROS.com?

I am tempted to buy slotted / cross drilled rotors of EBAY from ROTORPROS.com for $220 shipped and just change the pads myself. Now that I see it's not too hard. Total cost for a set of 4 ROTORs and PADs would be around $340, plus my labor----VS---- dealership...$404 install + $120 pads = $524!

Opinions...?

I have 2005 Z with 1100 miles on front rotors.
Just replaced with Stoptech kit.

Will sell you these like new rotors.

PM w/zip code for shipping if interested.

 

Thanks zman2, but if I'm going to buy new rotors they're going to be cross drilled and slotted...

I called PepBoys and they will do the front swap and grind for $120...$82 less than Nissan. So, I just need to decide what to do soon... From what I have read, I am not 100% certain those ROTORPRO rotors are trouble free. So they may be out of the equation at this point, unless someone give me some good news?

 

Zman2, I might be interested in your rotors how much are you sellin them for? 22039

 

How about Rotora Rotors & Project Mu B-Force Pads.

I currently have them both and I really love them.
Rotora Rotors are strong and very well made. Also as for Pads, Go with Project Mu B-Force Pads. They are little more pricey but they grip crazy. I use to have Hawk HPS up until couple of weeks ago and I swiched it to Project Mu B-Force Pads. Between the 2 pads, I would definitely go with Project Mu B-Force.

Dust: they produce about the same

Noise: I didn't have any issues with either one of them. I know some people have some issues with brake noise on the Hawks.

Performance: Project Mu performs much better than stock pads and with Hawk HPS, pads you will loose some performance vs stock pads.
