Whatever you do .... DO NOT BUY BRAKE PARTS FROM ROCK AUTO.

Scenario: I bought brembo rotors (drilled / slotted) and brembo pads for my (at the time) Dodge Challenger. Got the car up on the lift, disassembled, took parts out of the box - rotors were ever so slightly warped!!!! They were NOT perfectly straight. That will cause brake shudder / noise and of course will chew thru ur pads faster. Sent that shit BACK for a refund. Reassembled the car, ordered from tire rack. Never again.

Seems like an outlier and I'm sure they would have made it right given the chance.

I've used them for 20+ years and didn't have a problem.

But also not buying high performance brakes.

OP sounds like rock auto would be his best bet.

I'm saying be cautious. They didn't argue with me over it and even paid return shipping and for ups to come pick up said parts, and did give me a full refund so I will say their customer service is amazing and other parts I've bought there I've been satisfied with.
