Default Brakemotive review...02 Z28 front and rear

Well i ordered my brakemotive front and rear rotors and pads last week for my 2002 Z28 and finally got around to doing the install on Monday (in the rain ) anyway it all worked out great despite the fact that both rear rotors were stuck on the hub. It took quite a bit of muscle to get them moving but long story short everything is on and I've tested the setup. This is an amazing bang for the buck! I'm honestly blown away by how well the car stops now especially as I've never thought my brakes were that bad to begin with. My car is an 02 Z28 with only 67K miles and has been very well taken care of, it stopped just fine but I felt it was time for a little upgrade. I can say this was money very well spent, good job on making an affordable setup for our cars that makes a noticeable difference.

I only have a couple of pics of the rear but you can tell it's a quality product even from a single shot of the rotor. Yes I know my calipers are hideous, that's the next order of business. Including a pic of the car too just for the hell of it

As requested here are a couple more shots showing rotors and one shot of the whole car

edit... what looks to be a couple of giant scratches on the car is actually a smudge on my iPhone camera lens...D'oh

Nice, I'm lookin forward to installing mine. I have only heard good reviews so far from others & for the price its worth a try at least even if your skeptical IMO anyway.
