Brake motive (yes the eBay one) on 2000 camaro review
First day with these, installed them with a hell of a lot of grease.
I bought all 4 drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads and I have zero squeal.
They are also really really good at stopping!
Any one have these?
Similar experience?
Bad experience?

I've had them on my 1999 TA for 3 or 4 years and they still look and feel good. Minor surface rust in the spring after sitting in the garage for 6 months, but after the first drive they look great again.

I've been running mine for almost 3 years now I guess. I've had zero issues and very minimal brake dust. They have far exceeded my expectations considering what I paid for them.

That's funny. I'm actually on here to find who I bought my rotors + pads from a while back because I forgot their name until I saw this. I bought rotors and pads from them 4.5 years and 33,500 miles ago. I went with blanks last time but this time ill get the drilled slotted.
Are they not a sponsor anymore? I don't see them listed.

Week later update:
Minimal brake dust probably 200 miles of hard driving. I race a lot so brakes get hit hard. They STOP my car for not being semi metallic. I love these brakes. I used to feel fade after 140 MPH stopping and I haven't noticed any

I have their rotors and pads on all for my Z. Love the rotors (drilled/slotted) but hate their pads. They suck! Will not stop when wet at all! Other than that I love the rotors. My nephew put a set of these rotors on his 2010 ss after i put mine on. He loves them too. Same with pads. Hated them Squilled like a banshee. Autozone pads stopped the noise tho.

There are several ebay companies that sell the same rotors/pads from China at super cheap for those on a super budget.

Me too. Bought a set about six months ago. Love them on my 2000 TA. They really screwed up the order though. First they sent me two front sets. Then when the sent my rears they sent more front pads. I was in the middle of the install when I noticed. I should have caught it. So I had to get shitty oreily back pads. But their customer service is great. Full refund for the cost of the oreily pads. Then I noticed some machining errors on the front rotors. I sent them a picture and they sent me new front rotors and let me keep the defective ones. There was a few pits right by the drill holes . That's it,they'd probably crack eventually, but I'm still running them and saving the new ones for later. Brake dust and squeal is not bad at all.(with the exception of the oreily back pads) Dust overload on those. But I have no complaints with brakemotive , their parts ,or their excellent customer service.

Coming up on 4 years with mine (~40k). I've only warped one front rotor in that time with daily driving. Got a discounted replacement pair and now have a spare. From last inspection the pads still had a decent amount of material on them.
The pads are typical ceramic and perform best when hot. They're not as good as a semi-metallic pad when cold or at slow speeds, but the lack of brake dust is worth it.

Bought these for both of my F-bodies. Trans am they are prefect. On the Firebird the front squealed a ton long after the break in period. But they sent me a new set of front pads under warranty. Other then that I have no complaints either. Stop like they should, even under heavy braking they seem great to me.
