Brake Bundle - too good to be true?

[Rednel]

I saw a bundle that has Calipers, Ceramic Brake Pads, Drilled Rotors for $225 (Canadian with free shipping) but I'm hesitant and wonder about the quality of something like this - it looks to good to be true and normally there is a catch? What do people think? Avoid?

The original calipers I took off (when replacing my wheel bearing - SKF) are fairly rusted externally but they did seem to work so maybe just better to clean them up?, stick them back on with new some new pads? And the rotors I took off have some rust at the edges etc but still seem fairly thick and even so they could possibly be re-used?

It's an 03 liberty so I don't want to throw a tonne of money at it, but if the brakes worked a bit better than before I'd be really happy. I also towed 1600lbs trailer fairly regularly in the summer and plan to do so again.

Budget deal may not offer the brakes you need. See this recent thread: https://www.jeepkj.com/threads/looking-for-good-brake-pads-and-rotors.74499/#post-763636
Towing=semi-metallic long lasting Mopar pads please, no need for drilled or slotted rotors.

Brakes are NOT something you cheap out on especially when towing a trailer or even hauling loved ones around.
No matter what you paid for it, if you are driving it you want good brakes on it
Even I want you to have good brakes LOL
Most of those so called specials use the cheapest parts out there, so run the other way

Thanks, I kind of thought that would be the answer, so I definitely won't go this route!

Rockauto.com has Powerstop brand kits for the same price. Much better quality I'm sure...

I purchased some good parts from a local supplier in the end. It was easier for me than doing core return by mail. Rock auto looks good but being in Canada, exchange rates and shipping fees are an issue. Thanks everyone for their advice.

I don't see any reason to replace the calipers if they were working fine. I do like fresh rotors though. I am also an advocate of getting 100% new brake fluid into the braking system. New pads, rotors, and getting fresh brake fluid in there and you will be a happy tower.

Sounds good. I purchased the calipers in the end as the bleed nipples were rusted solid. At least this way I start fresh.
