Why would I pay 3x as much if I'm not going to notice a difference...?

You only paid $40 for all four rotors?

Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16

What rotors are you talking about... link?

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

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?

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.

Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16

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.

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.

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.

Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16
