Brakes - Revolution Autosports ??

Hello everyone...

I just stumbled on these (Revolution Autosports - Ebay company) and wanted to share it with everyone....has anyone had any experience with them...

2006 Infiniti G35 Sedan F+R Drilled Rotor + Pads 06 = $145.95

(Sorry if prices are not allowed to be posted)


Here is the link

On the plus side, they did chamfer the holes. But I've never heard of them, and that price is both deceptive and a little too good to be true. A decent, basic rotor goes for about $140 each, so $145 for 2 rotors and 4 pads tells me the quality is probably not there, which means warped rotors and noisy brakes. The deceptive part is he's charging $73 in shipping, so your price is closer to $220. You'd be better off getting a good used set from the Marketplace.

I would look at Centric rotors for affordability and quality and stick with stock pads for good breaking and low dust.

Thanks 5150DS for your recommendation...

However, I also read that OC Autosports rotors are quite good too.

Centric owns PowerSlot and Racing Brake. Most companies like OC and R1 Concepts use Centric blanks and drill/slot them. I would go with whatever you can get the best deal on that use Centric blanks.

Brakes are one of those things where you get what you pay for.


Two things i say to never cheap out on...Brakes, and tires. If your engine blows up cuz you ran crappy parts, you just roll to a stop. But if your brakes or tires fail, you can die.

Amen to that....

got centric plain face all around with stock pads... performed bed-in procedure and no more pulsing (warped rotor feeling... ---> AKA uneven pad material transfer)... Got all 4 rotors for less then $240 shipped...

R1 Concepts are great! Not too expensive either.

Those AMS ones look pretty nice.

I have looked at the revolution ones and looking at the feedback most people seem happy. This is the only feedback from a G though.

great pads; exactly what i needed

I am reluctant to cheap out on brakes since they are kind of a life and death thing....
