I was thinking of ordering a brake kit off ebay (pads and rotors) for my front and rears. I found what I think are some good prices but am wondering if the quality is good and if anyone has any experience with them? Or should I just stick with the standard oem dealer parts?

Here's a couple I found,

They are in Canada and come with free shipping which is great for me!

Thoughts?

 

They seem to have good seller feedback.

Does any one have experience with the dipped zinc plating? Looks like the whole rotor goes in a dip tank from the photos on their website:

Wondering if this thin coating would cause problems bedding in the new pads as they scrape it off.

I think the OEM rotor only has a paint coating on the hat where the wheel bolts on - nothing on the pad wear area or in the veins.

 

I suspect a few microns of zinc or cadmium plating would wear off very quickly and not have any impact on bedding in. The fact that it stays everywhere the pad doesn't contact and reduce the rust buildup is a nice touch. Made in Canada is also a nice touch. If i were in the market, I'd give them a try.

 

ultrasmooth, what will you be putting those brake kits on?

 

Do you know what is the part numbers for the outlander OEM front rotors and pads?

 

xOutlanderFiendx, I'd be putting these on a 2010 Outlander XL.
