You only paid $40 for all four rotors?

What rotors are you talking about... link?

I payed $180 shipped for 4 rotors, 8 ceramic pads, and 2 brake shoes.

PREMIUM-SERIES PERFORMANCE DRILLED + SLOTTED Brake Rotors [ 2 FRONT + 2 REAR ] | eBay

That doesn't look like $120 to me.

Ok...brool story, because I paid that back in like '08...so I guess prices have gone up a little, here is a nice set (granted, I'd never use EBay **** brake pads...which might explain the leaves)...how's $140?

Pontiac Grand Prix (97-03) (F&R) Brake Disc Rotors NEW | eBay

And then get a decent set of Hawk HPS or EBC pads...hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Or rockauto rotors with a nice warranty, and then hawk hps. at least that's the route im taking.

Those are generic rotors, who knows what they quality or thickness is on those. The pads that came with mine are Centric premium ceramic pads, not bad (Not going to pay over $120 for brake pads...)

Please stop commenting like I know nothing.

I'm just commenting because you know nothing lol JK

There is little difference really between the E-Line R1s and the Premiums, so I went with the E-lines. This is what I bought. You say you paid $180... so did I. Guess who looks better with their purchase lol

Truthfully, don't worry about it, just save money, later get D&S 12+ and get a bigger brake upgrade.

you all failed for getting drilled rotors lulz.

Yup, ceramic pads glaze over.

Been there...done that...I'll take a little brake dust.

And I'm not commenting like you know nothing, I'm trying to point something out to you that you might have missed.

But all racekars have them!!!

The rotors cost $140 with 8 ceramic pads. Yes they will glaze over over time (prolly why they come with two pairs lol), but not for a long while hopefully. And $140 is how much Hawk pads cost alone. I think I'll be a'ight.

You pay for what you get.

Learned that a long time ago.

And what I got is good enough.
