Before you buy anything on ebay, find exactly what you want from either summit racing, performance part websites, catalogs, ect.. then look for that specific part from a reputable seller and compare the price. just make sure you look at the shipping costs, ebay isn't always cheaper.

I must ask, what is the reason that you want drilled or slotted brakes?

are you putting any extra wear and tear on the brakes, or using them harder than normal?

if not you are probly just waisting your money.

If the guy is like me, he probably drives 20 mph OVER the speed limit in the city, constantly lighting up the brakes and pads. The stocks are great, dont get me wrong, but they warp easy after heating up and cooling off, hot cold hot cold. This happened to me and I swapped for drilled/slotted and nothing so far, 20k on them.

I actually bout my set from a guy on eBay for cheap. Only problem, which you need to verify with everyone eBay or not, is if the front wheel bearings are pressed in already or not. If not, I can locate them for you, but they run $90 PER (If anyone can find them cheaper as Timken has stopped making SET930 please let me know). Check my album, there is a pic of my tire/wheel combo, and you can see my rotors through them. Good luck!

If you are making a show truck, don't cheap out on parts. Just my opinion.... people (judges especially) can see that a mile away at those shows. You end up looking like a doofus.

I thought the 2wds had integral bearings, and the 4wd/Awds had floating.
