Hey Everyone,

I need to replace my front rotors and pads, can you recommend a good brand/setup for the 08 Journey? Are OEM just as good? I am a day-to-day driver; no track or anything, but I do have the Eibach Sport springs and the Eibach cambers on both front and back.

thanks!
Joe

 

KNS has good deals, they're a vendor here so you might get an even better deal if you PM them

I would highly recommend that combo of Centric premium rotors and Stoptech street performance pads. I had on Hawk ceramic but got judder and the Stoptech pads are noticeably better at stopping. Don't know anything about KNS though.

 

Yes we are here, centric premium rotors and the stoptech pads are all in stock, just looked.

They are a centric premiums are a good inexpensive oem type rotor replacement, it features the e-coating paint surface over the hat and in the veins to help reduce rust.

The stoptechs are a great street performance pad, good initial bite, but sometimes a bit dusty.

Less dust and decent bite are the Hawk HPS and even less dust are the Hawk Performance Ceramics.

I would recommend any of those to go with.

thanks! can u plse PM me pricing with shipping, for Centric and the Hawks? zip: 92807 i want pads that will last, so is Hawk HPS or Performance Ceramics better? Joe

 

PM coming.

One of the requirements using HAWK pads is the "Bed in Process!" SEARCH! It takes 15 minutes maximum and will give you 30% better braking ability including over double the life of OE pads! Centric rotors are good but a better choice is DBA rotors available on our MARKETPLACE under vendor brakes....Gary

 

Gary is right, DBA rotors are a very good choice. DBA makes great high quality rotors, only downside is they can sometimes get a wee bit pricey.

If good quality at a great price is most important to you, you can't go wrong with centric premiums.

Now talking about the bed in process, I always recommend it, on all pads.

Thanks for the tips and link you guys!

 

The stock rotors are soooo bad. I got a great deal durring christmas time for stoptech slotted rotors and ceramic pads. They are great and I needed new brake lines so stainless steel braided lines from stoptech too. It was a whole package. But Centric rotors are I think the same just not branded. I am pretty sure centric makes rotors for stoptech.

But you can't go wrong with any of those combos i love mine!
