What are your opinions of these brakes?
thanks for the like tjkj! I will be looking into those rotors. For about $650 I think I can get a whole set. I will have to decide what to do with the brakes. We bought it in march of this year, but the dealership would have only installed the cheapest parts they could find. Hence why 7 months...- Minimike

245/65R17 - opinions please
Maybe you can see if they are willing to install one on the front so you can test it to see if it will rub severely.- Minimike

245/65R17 - opinions please
I run a 245/65/17 trail cutters with a 3" lift. Rear was fine but I had rubbing on the front when turning. Its about 1/4" from the pinch weld also. With a stock suspension I doubt you will be able to run without moderate to major rubbing. a 245/65/17 is a 30" tire, and the stock 17" tires are...- Minimike

What are your opinions of these brakes?
Ohio-white-kj thanks for the response, I think I will do some research on the coating. I am curious to see what it really is/does.- Minimike

What are your opinions of these brakes?
Okura_hubby I have experienced this before when customers opted for non-metallic pads, even some lower grade ceramic pads felt this way. I would just switch them out for metallic pads, they offer (most of the time) slightly better braking. I have tried using organic pads and they suck!- Minimike

What are your opinions of these brakes?
Thanks for the comments, TJKJ2002 I agree with you. I have never heard of this brand before. I never planned on skimping but if someone else had good luck with them then for 200 bucks I would have given them a whirl. Its only 200 for all 4 corners, which is also why I was leery. And Bulli My...- Minimike

Too bad you have had these issues. I wouldn't blame the engine, its probably poor assembly by the tech who built the engine. I hope everything works out well.- Minimike

Look Ma.. No doors..
I wonder how much worse a side impact would be with no door in the way. I have never considered taking them off but it does look kinda cool. I would do it if I made some tubular doors as replacements, I think tube frames with the lower part being mesh would look awesome!- Minimike

Uneven brake wear, grinding noise, and brake rotor shadowing....
sorry, forgot you haven't had much experience with brakes. The brake system is hydraulic, and as such can have no air in the system. The bleeder screws are located on the calipers and wheel cylinders usually at the top most part of the caliper or wheel cylinder). You open them to let air out of...- Minimike

Uneven brake wear, grinding noise, and brake rotor shadowing....
just make sure the piston pushes back into the caliper without to much effort. Just crack the bleeder screw and press the piston in with your hands and quickly tighten the bleeder screw back up. or (this is easier,but can cause damage to the caliper if you screw up) take the cap of your brake...- Minimike

Uneven brake wear, grinding noise, and brake rotor shadowing....
when you talk to the service adviser or part person tell them you want semi-metallic pads or ceramic pads. Express to him that you do not want organic pads. If he does not understand you find another parts store lol :) keep me updated.- Minimike

Uneven brake wear, grinding noise, and brake rotor shadowing....
Depending on your speed you may have hurt your pads (also depending on your pad quality) If it was a full lock (tires not rotating) then you should be fine (no friction between the pad and rotor), if you have ABS or did not lock up your brakes but did break VERY hard you have have possibly...- Minimike

OME/Bilstein + wesway lift what am I doing wrong ?
I ran into the same problem trying to install 1.25" front shims, took me forever. I ended up using a bottle jack to push down the lower control arm (you can also undo the sway bar link, as it will allow the control arm to move even further down). Once done it was still hard to slip it in. But...- Minimike

Uneven brake wear, grinding noise, and brake rotor shadowing....
the brake pad should move somewhat easily. If the paint is too thick or if there were casting marks left on the pads where they rest on the bracket it could cause them to stick. You can take a die grinder and remove excess paint or burrs. The pads should slide nicely in the bracket. As for the...- Minimike
