Anyone have any experience with these? How do they like them?

 

I recently replaced my rotors with a new set of Brembo rotors. I went from toyota to Hawk pads and much prefer there braking power.

(I ran Brembo and toyota pads before. Always squeeked and felt they faded easily)

 

Around here none of the shops turn rotors or even drums if they are questionable they get replaced.

When redoing the brakes on a new to me vehicle I always go with new rotors and drums just to be safe.

I don`t skimp on brakes or tires

 

The crap saying not to turn your rotors is just foolish.

There are a few things in life you just do because thats the way it is.

TURN THE ROTORS. Not turning them is just an exuse to cheap out.

I get the least exspensive pads that have a lifetime warranty.
If they wear out...then I get free pads.

When I do a brake job...I dont want to have to do it again for a few years at least.

I love the calipers we have...4 pistons...PLENTY of brake for these little trucks.

Make sure all the pistons are moving...I have recently had a stuck piston on a caliper.

Not turning your rotors is like not wiping your butt after taking a crap.

Brakes are the LAST thing I would cheap out on or skip steps.

 

I used the top of the line NAPA pads. They stop well but they produce black dust like nothing else I've ever seen.

Back to factory pads for me.

 

ya i got these hawk super duty pads close out on ebay for like 20 shipped and some ebc blank rotors seems one side gets dirty faster lol

 

I went to rockauto.com site and the Brembo did't get good reviews.

i have factory pads and rotors now but they make so much noise its not funny any suggestions on the best combo to get because i believe i warped one of my rotors already might as well get new ones while i got the wheels off

 

I got the same pads from them for $9. I don't need new pads, but I couldn't pass up the deal. What has your experience been with them? Noise, dust, stopping power? After I bought them I figured out that they are meant for really heavy duty trucks that tow a lot and I got worried that they might not be the best pad for a relatively light truck that never tows anything.
