Brake help

[CMGRover]

Alright, here's the deal. My front brakes are about done, still haven't tripped the sensors though. I am not going to the dealer for $700. I found a local guy that has all the front components from this kit, new in box, for $100. Are those parts OE quality? Or should I just get the OE brand pads/rotors for $400?

Thanks in advance.

I can't tell quite what kit that is. I bought mine through Atlantic British also, and they were EFCO (or a name very similar to that, my memory fades...) and were very good.
Edit: I clicked the linked part numbers embedded in that page, and the pads are OEM, but the rotors are not. They don't say who makes the rotors, but they look like the ones I used. The more I think about it, I think the OEM origional pads are made by EFCO or EBCO or whatever...

Thanks, that helps a lot. How many miles did you put on the brakes?

Okay, my memory is really bad, but ball park numbers are something like 18,000 for pads (front and rear), and around 35,000 miles for pads and rotors front and rear, repeat the cycle again with new rotors around the 65-70k mark.

I drive a lot (+25,000 miles a year) in LA traffic and was off roading very frequently, so those pads go their work out for sure.

Thanks. Sorry for all the questions, but were they pretty quiet?
