Default Looking for feed back on the Wholsale direct brakes & rotors package.

$299 sounds too good to be true. Anyone have these? I would like to hear some feedback about them.

Thanks,
Dave

I've got them and I've put about 600 miles on them so far. They feel & look great (X-Drilled, Slotted, Zinc-Plated). Shipping was about 5-6 business days.

Here's a crappy picture that I took w/ my camera-phone:

I have 4000-5000 miles on mine, I love em. When I first got them I could wash the car and they wouldn't rust at all!!!! After a little while though they're like the rest of them, a bit of surface rust when you wash the car, I guess that's to be expected. So far I would say they're a good deal, but more time will tell. I don't drive the car much, so I'm sure there's someone out there with more miles on a set than me.

I got my set in the mail yesterday. Shipping and delivery was great. The rotors themselves look great too. I'm putting them on this weekend, then I'll be driving about 8-10 hours roundtrip the following weekend, so I'll get back with impressions after I've driven on them for a while. I'll be doing the rotors and pads right off, but wont be doing the brake fluid swap for a few more weeks.

So are these WDP rotors, or are WDP just selling them? Who actually makes these rotors? Are the cross drilled holes casted in or drilled afterwards?

I'm well aware that slotted/cross drilled rotors do nothing for normal breaking. I am well aware that the only increase in breaking will be going from my Raybestos ceramic pads to these semi-metallic pads. I bought them for the looks first and foremost, as my wheels show off my rotors and the stockers are nasty. For $300 you can't beat this deal. Congratulations, you win the Jackass of the Day award.

Thankyou Josh For showing your immature attitude, tough guy . My post was in no way directed against you or any one posting in this thread. But I am glad you are aware that their drive way jewelery and offer no benefit braking what soever.

Brake ***** suck

lol, I have the wholesale direct rotors and I'm very pleased with my jewelry. They look great, maybe even better than some of the "real" brake kits that cost thousands.

(If it was all about performance and to hell with looks... we would all be in chevy monzas, ford pintos and dodge darts ratting big cubes and fat meats up under those tiny fenders... IMO)

crappy pic attached... night in the garage but you get the idea.

I was just pointing out that you didn't have to be an *** about it. No immaturity or tough guy on this end. When a guy is sporting a brake setup that is ridiculously expensive, comes into a thread about a little budget brake setup, and downs it, it doesn't come across any other way than condescending.

Had them for about 4 thousand miles. Can't comment on the pads as I went with Quietstops. No complaints and have had a few hard stops. They will fade with consistent hard use like normal, as they are not much of a performance upgrade, but cool down quicker than stock...I think.

Delivery can be slow however but if something goes wrong Brian will make it right.
