That's a great price!
I'm going to get a set and give them a try.

I think I'll be getting a set too, I've had them on "watch" on my ebay favorites for a week or so, trying to make sure I did my homework.

Sounds like those of you who have tried them give it a thumbs up! Thanks guys!

I ordered at set of the 4x4 ones yesterday even with the US exchange on the dollar I am saying almost 70% on what the local auto parts guys want to regular stuff here.

You probably found this already but just incase you didn't here is a link for the two wheel drive version.

I have not purchased these, just trying to help...

The percentage is noticeable. Especially the first bite, your head bobs forward when you hit them, unlike the OEM's. You'll notice during the break in how much harder they bite. Don't leave anything on the seat when you hit 'em hard.

Dozer5,
Thanks for the input about this brake/rotor package. Was just wondering how many miles you got out of the OEM brakes?

Arubba, I still had about half life left after 45000 miles. I changed them out because I had the truck inspected by a Jiffy Lube and they over torqued the lug nuts and warped the rotors. It was a good time to change them out anyway because when I pulled the pads off the front, the right side pad backing plate was almost completely rusted through. The left side was also rusted but not as badly. The rears were warn about 3/4. Odd but that's the way it works now I guess.

Im switching out because as usual just like my last 6 trucks the Ford rotors start to warp and cause a shake at anything over 120KPH so instead of taking them off and having them machined like I did in the past Im just going to change out for some better quality stuff.

i have a set and they work great with my 35's...they stop better than the stock junk and there is almost no brake dust.

I know you get what you pay for but in the 7k miles i've put on them they still work great and have a way better feel than the stock rotors/pads gave

Wow this is a great review from everyone. I hope this company is on ebay for awhile at least. I don't know when I'll be getting these, but they look and from the reviews, perform awesome.

Guys I got my 4x4 package in from them yesterday, can someone that has bought from them confirm these are the correct rear pad set, are they suppose to have these funny round clips things in the rear of the pad ? I have never changed them yet so dont know what the old ones look like. Just want to be sure I got the right parts.

Yup, they're the ones. The clips press into the pistons on the inside of the calipers.

Ah OK thanks, I assume it only does this on one side as the other rear set does not have these ?
