I had to change brakes on all 4 corners, wife & kids travel in it everyday, plus 107000 miles.
Ordered drilled and slotted from I Rotors on e-bay plus carbon ceramic pads, everything showed up, no damage, fit well, good looking pieces, $280, free shipping.
To sweeten the deal i ordered 2pairs of 25MM spacers, generic version of the V2, good looking pieces, fit perfectly, no issues.
Thanks to the DIY page i didnt get freaked out when the rear rotors would not come off after repeared banging. Some WD40 (pen) applied in the right spot and some pounding it came right off.
The kicker was the front brakes, the 19MM nut holding the caliper bracket required some serious muscle, more than i had...so i called on the wife and a breaker bar:smile (2):
Dont laugh, we got it off, im just glad the kids didnt hear us moaning and grunting in the garage, that would spook them 4 life...:eek.:
The results are great, i love the look the spacers give the car. The brakes took a long time to bed inand were very noisy the first couple of stops, very grabby and squeeky, but after repeated stops it was all good.
I must say, with the pads & D/S rotors the stopping power is just a little better but a whole lot noisier, almost grinding, but i went thru this before with my Tahoe. Here are a few pics, only true FXr's will notice, took the pics with my phone...sorry but a good days work in the garage, felt good, now the wife feels like she can fix brakes...
