Shopping for brakes for my Ridgeline, saw these online and decided to check if anyone has tried them and there you are... Thanks for sharing man!!
👍👍
I'm really quite happy them and wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.
Cheers 🍻
This is all I use now and great price
No, please upload how to do the brakes, your voice is so soothing and I’m so glad that you’re reviewing this. I want to put this on my 2013 Camaro and I wasn’t sure but this looks great!
Thank you! I've been quite happy with these brakes so far and I feel very comfortable recommending them to anyone. Cheers 🍻
@@Finite-Tuning thank you so much for your video. And thank you for your response as well. I’m happy to know that everything was safe and durable for you.
Thanks, great video!
Drilled and slotted, Humm, why do they drill and slot thm,the,, I would think that would wear the pads faster. I guess it would make the vehicle lighter.
The holes and slots make the rotor breath better so it runs cooler for longer. You can really hammer the brakes hard with this type of rotor without brake fade. Severe braking with a traditional rotor just heat soaks them and your brake pedal feels like mush until everything cools down. The holes and slots are all beveled and chamfered so the brake pad glide right over nice and smooth. This type of rotor has been used in the racing industry forever, and they used to be crazy expensive. So when I saw this complete 4 wheel brake kit for less than $200 to my door, well I couldn't resist.
So far I'm really loving these, they work great and ya just can't beat the price. These are some real serious bang for the buck. Cheers 🍻
@@Finite-Tuning man that is a great deal for all the parts needed!
Thanks for the explanation,, to allow air flow and keep things cool, makes perfect sense:-) usually cost 200 just for the rotors if your lucky, yeah good deal.
Heavy on brakes all the time. My wife says to me, " don't you see the red light coming up, why are you not breaking yet"!! Hehehehe!
I run the same rotors but I put the duralast copper free ceramic hex pads on my wife's pathfinder we r at 65k miles.
Nice! On a pathfinder no less.... Much heavier vehicle than my Nissan Altima.
Cheers 🍻
this is the exact combo im seeing if its worth it.
How is things going ....thanks for sharing your thoughts .
These have been great, I figgin love these! I'm totally sold on the brand and will put them on everything I own as needed and where available. I'm confident you'll love them too.
Cheers 🍻
Its crazy cause im looking at these on amazon for 213 brake pads and rotors and all the other stuff for my infiniti ex35 aka nissan hahaha but yea starting to get brake noises so I figured why not jump on it
Thanks for sharing ❤❤
Hi, thank you for the video. Im kinda hesitant on these, i see alot of reviews of brake dust and quality of the pads not lasting a few months, causing squeeks and also damaging the rotor, also have seen people say they have cracked rotors in a year. In your review, 2 yrs with only 3500 miles, have you put any more miles on it with any updates? Ty
I've been nothing but thrilled with this kit, I'll buy them again in a heart beat no hesitation, they've seriously been great! I've had to replace yet another caliper since I made this video, but not the brakes. I'll try for tomorrow to make a short update video on these, I'm not pulling wheels, but I should be able to get in pretty close to see. I have no problem with brake dust, or squealing, or anything else. I think these are incredible bang for the buck.
@@Finite-Tuning thank you

I got to it pretty early this morning, the video is still processing but done enough to watch. Here is the update: ua-cam.com/video/oJNTXhbgYIU/v-deo.html
666th subscriber, that's a little troubling. Ha. Great video! How are the rotors holding up and are the pads worth a damn?
Hey thanks for the subscription and to hell with that number 😈😁....
This whole brake kit has been great, I'm really very happy with the performance of everything so far and I've got nothing to complain about. I can honestly recommend these to anyone with total confidence they will have the same result as I've had. I do not know how long they will last, but they still look like new when looking through the wheels. Not even any rust yet! So if you need a set of brakes, I wouldn't hesitate to buy these. I quite happy with them.
Cheers 🍻
How did they hold up?
Still looking great, I'm really quite happy them and wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.
Cheers 🍻
How have they been holding up? And are the drilled/slotted better compared to the regular ones?
On this day 4-28-2023, I still love them and highly recommend these to anyone needing new brakes. Still not even rusting yet! And yes drilled and slotted rotors are far superior to the non variant. They cool quicker and stay cooler longer vs conventional rotors. Especially in high performance applications, these are the only way to go, but also for daily drivers as well. At this price point, these are an incredible bang for the buck. Just get 'em, you can thank me later. Cheers 🍻
Are the brakes still holding up well?
I put these on my 2005 escalade like 8 months ago and the brake pads are still like new. Ima do the same on my 2017 sentra but i just wonder why the rear brake pads are so small?
This brand has made a believer out of me, mine are still in great shape as of this day 1/26/2024. These will be installed on everything I own as needed in the future.
Have an update on these parts I'm considering buying them for my Honda CRV I saw him for 208 bucks on the website
Just get 'em, they're great! I'd buy them again without hesitation. They still look like new, not even any rust forming yet. Cheers 🍻
Been doing my research on Detroit axle control arm kits. Do you recommend buying it
I've been thrilled with their brakes and rotors, but I have no experience with any of their other products. But I would definitely give them a try for control arms.
You say your stock pads got 80k miles. So why don't you buy them? I will use DA rotors but their pads put too much dust on my rotors.
Because of OEM parts availability and the price I was given for the parts. I don't remember the number anymore, but it was outrageous.
Hows the brakes after 4 months? Debating getting the xB version, need new brakes and rotors. TIA
Edit: Awesome video btw!
Just get 'em, they're great! I would buy them again without hesitation. They still look like new, not even any rust forming yet. The car stops better with these verses anything else I've used on the same vehicle. Cheers 🍻
@@Finite-Tuning Awesome! I got my Wheel bearing and assembly from them and its been great, just wanted to make sure these were gonna be like the last parts! I appreciate the reply!
Planning to get that brand is it good

What is a good brake pad for the rotors?
The ceramic pads included with the rotors are a good place to start.
They still working bro?
They're still like new, still no rust and I'm still lovin them. These have been some real serious bang for the buck! Cheers 🍻
@@Finite-Tuning thx bro. Idk ive seen a couple ppl talking bad about the brand. I think ima go with them tho i really appreciate the reply
@@carlitodidthatdid you end up getting them?
@@netob6826 yes they are still working good. I switched out the break pads because the detroit clips for the pads were all bent and i couldnt use them
@@carlitodidthat thanks for the input!
You put the rotors backwards my man
Your the second person to say that now, but do you know which rotor is backwards?
It would have been nice if the rotors were labeled (L) / (R)! And I did look closely before installing them, there are no markings, no paper work, no thing to indicate direction or side. But in this case it just doesn't matter, the direction is only for water shed and I have no dust shields anymore. Just as I have no more care for this car anymore, it has reached end of life for me. Still curious to know which rotor you think is backwards.
Cheers 🍻
@@Finite-Tuning well the rotors do have a direction but that direction should always point to the back not the front and the reason for that is that you want the wind to cut into the rotor to cool it down not the rotor to cut into the wind.
@@petertowers9579:
The rotors that are backwards are on the rear. I didn't notice until the other guy mentioned the same thing. This was supposed to be a simple brake job but turned into a project. I didn't know I had a stuck caliper, or that my parking brake shoes were flopping around in the wind, or that a single flake of rust was all that was left to hold my dust shields on the car. By the time I dealt with some of that I just wasn't paying much attention to the rotor direction.
Probably half the rotors out there only fit one side, that's why I checked these for markings as there is usually stamped (L) or (R) on the hub or outer edge of the rotor. These had nothing at all. And it is kind of a duh factor which way they should go, I just wasn't thinking about it at the time. I totally missed it!
But the direction is about water shed, not air flow. It's not the chamfered holes, but the slots them selves that make these directional. In one direction the slots can potentially scoop water inward towards the hub, in the opposite direction they sling water away. If they scoop water and sling it towards the hub, a spinning hub will sling it right back and the cycle repeats keeping the rotors wetter than normal. Which in my case doesn't matter since I don't have dust shields anymore, my brakes will always be soaked in the rain.
On the flip side though, the rears are installed correctly for high speed reverse driving 😁. So it's kinda perfect if you look at it that way lol. Anyway, good eye! You're only the second one that noticed direction.
Cheers 🍻
@@Finite-Tuning go back and look and the 9 min. Mark those rotors are pointing forward ⏪ meaning towards the front when they should be pointing backwards ⏩ towards the back of the car. Now if you did not notice that means you just don't know. Cheers 🥂
Never put that silver sh1t on your lug studs
I will '𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬' put that silver shit on my lug studs! Without something to lube the threads all they do is gull and rust. Once you've had to replace as many wheel studs as I have, you'll use that silver shit too. Cheers 🍻
Exactly bunch of cheap products
They're cheap regarding price, but their quality has proven itself to me! I'll put these on any and everything in the future. I'll make a quick update video soon to show how well these have held up so far. I've had yet another caliper fail, these brakes and rotors so far are outlasting brake calipers!
Are the brakes still holding up well?
Yes, I'm still very happy with them. And I still don't see any rust on them yet, much to my surprise. I would not hesitate to buy these again. Cheers 🍻
@@carstopspeedanddrift5463:
Since the brakes were replaced I have about 2 years worth of time and 3500 miles or 5632.704 Km.
@@carstopspeedanddrift5463:
I've been extremely happy with these Detroit Axle brakes and rotors. So why pay more then you have to, just get these amzn.to/3ev7j33
