I just ordered new front (x2) rotors, new back (x2) rotors and pads for each. I chose Raybestos parts as I used them on other cars and find them to be of outstanding quality.

Was around 350$ from Amazon.

If you want the part #'s I can post up what I ordered.

Both front rotors arrived today and the rears and pads will be here tomorrow and will be installed on Friday so I can review them after this weekend if it is wanted.

Put in the Raybestos parts this weekend and was fully satisfied. Car stops NOW and straight n even when doing so. Parts were of high quality. Only snag I ran into was with the passenger side front caliper bracket. Seems the caliper pin was seized up inside the bracket and not allowing any caliper movement. After much penetration fluid and elbow grease I removed the pin. Then cleaned and honed the bore of the hole. Got lucky and found a stealership with pin and seal kit, 25 minutes away. Works like a champ now


Great parts, would recommend Raybestos to others.

Brakemotive? I think it's around 180 for all pads/rotors, and the rotors are drilled and slotted.

I didn't see GXP stuff listed there, just Imp and Monte stuff.

I've always been a stickler for the old phrase " you get what you pay for ". Brakes are not something I am going to trust to discounted or cheaper parts. I went Raybestos because I have used them in the past with 0 issues and their reputation. They were not overly expensive either.
