    So I got this done today. Install isn’t complicated just a pita at some points. The weather was nice enough that I cleaned the wheels while they were off the car. Of course I cleaned the calipers too. In the pics you will see the difference between dirty and clean and this was right at 330 miles on the car so not much driving at all and I haven’t been beating the car that I’m pushing the brakes.

    i hope so.

    I just cant get over its on $50 for fronts for such a big brake and its a brembo setup.

    Good pads for my ram were about the same. Like I wouldn't put $20 set of pads on the truck.

    I guess Ill have to search forums for them to see what they are

    also by that logic you better put $500 a piece high performace tires on the rear of your car when its time vs the $100 ones your are looking at lol good tires for my ram were more than $100

    Matt is overthinking this........

    We aren't the first ones to do this mod.

    I did it on my blue car, and drove it for quite some time with them on. With the wheels being ceramic coated, cleanup is a breeze, and.......WAY less dust. Its just proven on any post that you see. Someone asks what pads to use.....these are what comes up, every damn time.
