Looks like a good deal but I'm wondering how good the product actually is...
Basically I need to do some brake maintenance, pads/rotors up front and shoes in the rear.... flush and replace fluid too. Trying to get out of it as cheaply as possible while keeping the quality up there. Any suggestions would be appriciated. ;)
TIA.

haha, come on bullet, you of all people should know never to go cheap on parts.
those look decent to me, but i'd just go for some Brembo OE replacements with new stock pads. possibly some portfield RS4 pads

Ohhh, I'm well aware! But I'm also aware that with a kid on the way I need to save every penny I can! But I neeeed brakes, so like I said: I want to get this done as cheaply as possible. That's why I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with this product.

EBC rotors with Axxis pads... probably a little better I think. ;)

I was concidering Hawks, have you had a good experience with them? And I need rotors cause mine are warped and rusted! :nono:

Concidering the stoptech stage 2 kit is roughly 4.5 times more expensive than my budget allows, no I did not look into it. :gap:

So I dropped my budget to $200 max and the best combo I could find was Power Slot rotors with EBC Ultimax pads, I'll let everyone know what I think about them once I get them installed on monday. Got the set for $198 w/ free shipping from www.autopartswarehouse.com
These coupled with the Centric rear shoes, machined drums (first time I've done the rear brakes in the life of the car, over 123K miles) and a brake system bleed and I should be stopping mighty quick. ;)
