I wish I had seen this before I just put new pads/rotors on the front. If I have to do it again, I am going to do this also. It surely can't hurt.

Got my brackets in today, 2 days, was shocked to see them. Not bad for $60. Seems like Raybestos rotors will run me the same for a pair. Wanna try something different from the NAPA's I got last time.

Then, pad decision.

Cool. How's about some pictures when you do the swap? Maybe some side by side ones showing old/new parts. Thanks.

NAPA rotors are rebranded Raybestos rotors. The NAPA ultra premium rotors I just bought even have the exact same part number on the side of the box as the Raybestos Advanced Tech rotors, and Raybestos lists the NAPA ultra premiums on its website.

The ones I'm looking at do have a different part number from the same NAPA ones. Might just be a "stock" photo, but even the cooling fins look different. Plus they are $1 cheaper than the "NAPA" ones.....

Hey Joe let me know when you plan to replace...I'll be your photographer and have a beer with you. I'm interested to see the difference.

Something to be aware of is the rotors will not be hubcentric.

You might want to explain that one.

Interesting mod. I think I actually would have done this a month ago had I known.
