Finally got around to changing my front brakes at least. EBC stage 3 slotted/dimpled rotors with green stuff pads.

Started raining pretty good so I never had a chance to do the rears tonight.
When the rear brakes are changed out I will be doing a full brake system flush/bleeding.

So far stopping is good, virtually no noises anymore. Old rotors were rusted solid to the hub and spent about 15 minutes with a propane torch per side getting rotors off thanks to northern Ontario winters. And had one dry and rusted slide pin on the right side.

Last I’d like to thank Nick@GotExhaust for hooking me up with my brakes.

It’s funny my dad asked the same thing when I texted him.

Definitely can’t wait to get the rears on and bleed the system

I paid $813.00 Canadian thanks to a great deal from Nick@GotExhaust

My local dodge dealer wanted just over $1000 after taxes and another $400 in labor for OEM rotors/pads. I figured $813.00 and an hour in the driveway was a much better deal.

Were your OEM rotors worn out? How many km did you have with the OEM?

My left rotor had 2 deep grooves worn into it. And on the right side I had a rusted in and seized slide pin.

Needless to say I needed to replace them. Only 65,000km on OEM parts. I live in northern Ontario and the salt and winter conditions do not help my case

For those that were curious. I have finally had a day where it isn’t raining so I got around to changing the rear brakes and put some mileage on.

Stopping power has had a definite noticeable increase and when I flush and bleed the system it will be even better. Highly recommend this kit to anyone wondering.
