I've had them on for more than 5 weeks now and because of work and family obligations haven't been able to wash the truck since I put them on. There is very little dust on the wheels. The only thing I can see some people not liking about them is some squeeling on light brake application. Usually cruising through a parking lot. Not a big deal to me and the performance is still much better than stock. The rotors still look new even after a few days parked within reach of my sprinklers. I'm still satisfied!

I have had them on for a couple of weeks now. GREAT stuff. NO dust, NO squeal, fit and stop GREAT! I'd say well worth two bills and change easy.

I have had mine installed since July 4th, and love them. Very low dusting, I don't have the squealing issue with mine. Great brakes for the money.

Still love the brakes. The squeel is only when I first start driving after sitting a while. After the first couple of applications, the squeel goes away. I've had no dusting at all now and it's been way too long sinse a wash. Rotors still look new and even being hit by the sprinklers over a weekend, showed no rust. Still well worth the cost of replacement.

Thanks for the updates guys. I think we should bring this one back around about every 3 months for the next year for updates. These are a great value if longevity proves to be good.

So what was the name of the ebay seller that y'all purchased these from? The link on the OP only goes to an ebay results page.

I bought a set of 4 drilled and slotted rotors with brakes from rotorpros website and they were 350.00 shipped to my door. I've had them on for about 2 months now and are excellent. No problems and no rusting. My ride is a 2004 FX4, also my buddy put a set on his Avalanche and loves them as well.

yeah, I noticed the link for rotorpros web site in this thread and figured they might have been the ebay seller, but rotorpros now has like a 74% rating on ebay vs. the 99% that was mentioned in the first several post. Made me wonder if they were the original seller mentioned or not.

I think their name was Brakemotive76, I think they were out of chicago. I really love the set on my truck. I got all 4 rotors and both sets of pads for less than $250 shippped.

Actually you're looking for the brakemotive kits. Here ya go:

$200 for 4 wheels is a hell of a deal, anyway you slice it.

I know where my next $200 is going

That's an awesome price for a set of 4 w/ pads. Just to let you guys know, I've been running cross drilled/slotted rotors on the front for 140,000 miles or so and have been very pleased with them over stock rotors which warped on me at 25,000 miles. 4 years ago I did both front and rears w/ ceramic pads (the pads ended up lasting 100,000 miles, which to me was fantastic), but 2 years later when I was doing a regular tire rotation, I noticed one of the rears had cracked, so I simply turned the stock rears which I still had, and put them back on. As it turned out both of the rears had cracked on the CD/S rotors, I just hadn't noticed the other one till I had taken a closer look at it a few weeks later. One things for sure, ceramic pads are waayy better than metallic or semi-metallic and there is very little brake dust when you run a ceramic and CD/S rotor set up. I'm due to replace everything all the way around again, so this is the route I'm going.

edit: My set up will probably be a little more since I have the 7 lugger.

I want to change my rotors and pads this spring. This really seems like a legit good buy.
