Nope, I forgot to put the link in my other post. Apparently some people are ripping people off.

well there is that. And that was and IS a great deal. heck I would probably even put them on my personal truck. (and may after seeing those) but it is very hard for any retail shop big or small to compete with Ebay. Those are not a "Powerstop" kit so this is where the price difference is coming from. No one here is trying to "rip people off" just comparing two different things is all

Chris, after I read what I wrote, I was hoping you wouldn't think that i was targeting you directly. It did kind of come off that way, sorry for that. I was referring to the wide range of prices for the same set of rotors/pads. All over the place. That's why a guy has to do their research, and a lot of it.
There is a slight chance that the rotors might be different than the in tge OP's post, but I can definitely say that they are the exact same Powerstop pads. Same box that i got with the Brakemotive set. Either way, I recommend the four rotors/pads link that i posted. They really are great. Obviously a huge improvement over the stock junk. Make sure to burnish them in, and you shouldn't see any problems.

No worries at all brother. I do agree with you as I said for the price that may very well be a darn nice kit and I would probably (and very well may) run them on my own truck. I did just fronts on my 98 and it was a vast improvement especially for the guys out there pushing big shoes. stopping those big tires a lot of folks dont take into account for. on a side note it is kind of funny I called that company to see if they were in fact affiliated with powerstop and they told me no. SO of course me being me I asked her why can I look at your pictures and very clearly read powerstop on the back side of your pads. She could not supply me with a good answer lol

Good to know. I was just thinking that when it's time to get new pads, that i would like to stick with the same ones. Hopefully i don't have to deal with her to try and figure it out.
