Hey guys,

I am going to replace all 4 rotors and pads on my 04 EB Expy. Just wondering if anyone has gone after maket with drilled/vented rotors and some pads?

I was looking at Autoanything and around. Looks like for a nice set of 4 rotors and pads you are dropping some coin. Some rotors by Baer are over $150.00 each, then add in pads. Just wondering what everyone else has done or what your opinion is?

Thanks.

Brian

Without upgrading the brake calipers, you will not likely see any added benefit to the drilled and slotted, IMO.. Other than the higher cost and inability to walk into your local parts store to warranty them...

I put the brakemotive ones on my 03. They seemed to work better than my old ones. but that is going from old pads and rotors to new pads and rotors. I think I paid like $200 for everything

Interesting comments. Everyone a bit different. So if I leave the stock calipers on, not worth the upgrade?
