Swerv Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Couldnt take it anymore... Now one of the clamps has fallen so the breaks are squeaking so bad. I had done some research and spoke with the family mechanic and asked about Ebay grade parts. After much research i found out that these Magnum rotors are actually pretty good and that currently no one has had any issues after years of use. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330513477981&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT I bought them today and they will arrive next week. Will post pics of installation and keep you updated on performance and how they hold up. Price was $250.00 for 4 rotors and 4 ceramic pads... cant beat that.

ups4 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Wow, that does seem like a good deal. I will definitely be interested in how the install goes. Make sure you keep us posted. Thanks, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerv Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Will do! Now does anyone know what the torque settings are for these wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerv Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 *UPDATE* Here are the rotors and pads out of the box... The weird thing was that the pads were wrapped in plastic and in a small box. The manufacturers box's for the pads were folded and shipped with the rotors. I figured they maybe just had a small box and big box so they got lazy... I dont think they shipped me bunk pads and they sort of look like the ones on the website. Anyhow i emailed them about it so i will see. PADS: ROTORS: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appalachian Journey Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Page 406 of the 2009 owner's manual gives 95 ft lbs (130 N·m). To be safe double check your manual if you have a different model year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will post up some pics when the car is ready and give you a progress report! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerv Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Alright brakes and rotors are done! I feel a great deal of improvement in braking performance. No noise what so ever and my brake pedal feels so much smoother. I will keep you guys informed of wear and if i have any other issues but so far so good. When i looked at the old rotors and pads the mechanic said it appeared to be "Cheap Material" and said its the same stuff he pulls off all cars (stock parts) and showed me the wear pattern on the rotors. So there you have it! After market rotors and pads by Magnum... All four for only $250 shipped to your door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
