I used 360 performance rotors from rotor depot and they have been awesome!

This thread is a little old but I finally got around to ordering new brakes. I went with the Brakemotive drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads.

I purchased each set separately as it was about $50 cheaper than buying the listed package for all 4 corners.

I should have them next Monday, I'll update once I get them on. Total price with free shipping was $272.50

How are the brake motive brand? I see on different forums a decent amount of people use them, but I don't know if is cause of cost or what. I just want to find a damn rotor that doesn't get all rusty, like what you see on Audi's or Benz.

I did quite a bit of reading on the net and I found significantly more positive reviews than negative. Users seem to be happy and I only remember reading one review citing rust where the pad and rubbed the zinc finish off the rotor, it was on a C6ZO6 IIRC.

I ordered the brakes on Tuesday via eBay, they were at my house by lunch on Thursday. When I got him last night I started the install. Each rotor was marked with a label so there is no question what is what. Install was easy, the brake pads are labeled Powerstop on the rear. Did the break in procedure included in the package and everything is smooth. The difference is night and day compared to my old worn out factory pads/rotors. We'll see how they wear but for $275 to my door I'm happy.

My 13 2wd rotors warped bad! I replaced them with Powerstop rotors and pads for a little under $500 for all four corners. Much improved feel and stopping power! Traded that truck in on a new `18 and am considering putting set on this one even though there nothing wrong with the stock ones. It's just that they're that much better!

Default Power Stop carbon fiber/ceramin brakes and cross drilled rotors

Well I finally broke down and bought the complete package from Amazon. I've used these on my SHO and both fusions and couldn't be any happier. Paid $339.00 for the complete set. They're heavy duty for trucks and towing. The set on my SHO have over 100,000 miles on them and my 2010 Fusion has just under 90,000 miles. They still look brand new. Can't wait to finally put then in my truck. They'll be here tomorrow. These thing are amazing. I will update when installed on Saturday the 13 and let you all know how they hold up throughout.
