i forgot ebay existed since i got my car, so i started searching around on there for some deals. certainly seems like one anyways haha.
through mustang retailers such as american muscle, these pads and rotors would be around 500 bucks, but here they're 160?

take a look and tell me what ya think. seems to be a good seller, but it just seems like too good of a deal.

they're a sponsor on ls1tech. They aren't horrible for the price, obviously they aren't going to be competitive with brembo and hawk and such but the price, go for it.

I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole.

I know the bling factor is there, but these cheap ebay crap rotors will be warped before you know it. And who knows about the pads. Brakes being kind of important in panic stops and just stopping in general, I'd opt for something better.

i mean, if they're a sponser they can't be complete shit right?



anyone know anyone who's made a purchase from brake motive?

I have similar ones on my Cobra for the last 20k miles. Very happy with them.

I have the drilled ONLY version though, not drilled and slotted like in your post.

Buy them. Ive got them on my car and i beat the hell out of, straight line and twisties. Have had them on it for a couple years. Still running and looking great. 0 warpage. It definitely improves stopping over stock gt brakes. On my cobra it was even a noticeable improvement.

Just because they are cheap doesnt mean they are bad. Go for it. It's not too good to be true.

you get what you pay for. those rotors will crack, those pads with wear quickly and dust like ****ing hell.

I'd get them for a budget-friendly brake swap, but just keep it under 100 MPH, will ya?

I have learned to only trust known brake companies (not Ebay sellers) which is why I went with Powerslots on my Mustang
