I was looking for a cheap alternative to brakes. I came across Callahan performance drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic "quiet" brake pads.
I paid 148.00 shipped for (2) front rotors, front brake pads, and (1) wear sensor. shipping was very timely. I had them 4-5 days after I paid and that included a weekend.
The installation; could not have been easier. Hardest part was expanding the caliper so I could slide it back over the rotor. Everything fit perfectly. The pads went on easier than oem actually.
The ride; was awesome! I've only had them on for a few days but there is absolutely no squeeking like I had prior. The brakes catch so smooth. Everytime I stop for a light or sign I can stop so smooth with out any instant grabbing right before you actually stop (I dont know how to explain it)
Best of all; they look great!! The drilled and slotted rotors are shiny and look great on the car! I'll post pics if anyone is interested but I apologize for no pics prior, I wasn't planning on this review.
Final words; I highly recommend these to every and anyone and I'll be getting some for my rear brakes. Perfect replacement for oem brakes.
If they're over 75 I don't think they ever heard the word beastiality before so they were probably confused, so i bet they were about to laugh n then they were like whaaaat?
And half of them didn't have their hearing aids up so they were like "did he say there are bees in the alley? Remind me to go around the long way to the car when we leave hun I'm allergic and forgot my medication on the bathroom floor next to the hemroid cream and baby wipes this morning.". (In an old man voice)
OK. Good to know, D. No Callahan C1 Team China Racing rotors or Kamikaze Racing brake pads for you. DMAX's rotors glow GREEN under heavy braking instead of the typical red. He incorporated argon gas into the steel alloy used to cast the discs. This special gas formula is trade secret and is said to only exist in one set of DMAX Racing rotors on his personal car.
Aph, I've been facing Munich in my shrine for the last three hours praying for you. Sipping coolant with a mark from brake dust on my forehead. My wife and kids are freaking out.
From now on, hourly reports please. Mango has the next watch.
Oh rubbish! Are you trying to tell me that centuries of accumulating metallurgical knowledge by the steel industry (http://www.timken.com/en-us/products/Steel/productlist/types/Pages/default.aspx) and developing hundreds of different alloys thru additives and heat treatment processes makes any difference? Surface hardness and extra attention taken to quality control for tolerances at every manufacturing step is something I should care about?
I'm sure those caring Chinese are up nights thinking about extracting the highest quality braking experience for us. I'm thinking about sending them some iron from my scrap pile so they can cast some rotor billets for me.
Dmax, do you not get enough attention in life? Working awfully hard here to impress mango. Ps- shrine, coolant, brake dust..... Make sense when you insult someone or just don't.
No, I don't get enough attention; I think that's obvious. Otherwise, why would I stand in front of a total group of strangers here or IRL to get it?
I wasn't insulting Mango, but find that sarcasm and lying is a great way to disagree with people. I'm not as worried about your rotors flying apart as him and was writing for you, just in case you got freaked out by the thought that that could happen to you.
You bought rotors no one here has heard of before. At best, you'll find a decent alternative; at worst, I'd guess that your braking will be worse than OE. In every brake thread, I've been pretty consistent in saying that you shouldn't care about dust, and if you track just a few times a year, you shouldn't worry about track pads.
No insult intended to anyone; I'm just writing what I think and some of that is made up (I really don't have a shrine)! :lmao:
I admit I feel slightly stupid for arguing with a dude who names himself mango on a car enthusiast forum with a avatar of his sister holding a piece of fruit. Might as well punch a 5th grader in the face.

No. Didn't un-ignore you. I just clicked on "View post." Funny how you call me a troll when you keep bumping this post, calling people out to fight and meet up with you, publicly wishing physical violence and harm on other members, bragging about your lifestyle/girlfriends/etc.
Don't be jealous please. This was over with and I have said nothing to piss you off or get your feelings hurt. You made a troll comment and I posted a troll dancing, and don't tell me you weren't trolling, because we all know you made that comment just to get a reaction.
I'm not getting pulled into your games again for you to go crying to the mods, and in turn them give me another infraction, just drop it.
My calipers are painted red because 1) yes they do indeed look better than rusty rotors. 2) they match my car well 3) To piss you (Mango) off since you care more about my car than your own.
I buy my ceramic pads/blank rotors from advance auto parts, cheap, work better than OEM, and lifetime warranty so I never have to pay for brakes again, just bring in the old part, swap and install and I'm good to go. Great for track use...
Guys like mango would use any 'advantage' he has to discriminate, mock, and belittle others.
Like a bigger car engine, more expensive parts, better maintained, living in a richer state/country and etc.
Maybe as far as having a grand wizard account on Stormfront to he can hang out with his other foreign-hating friends.
Monroes have been/are the OEM for Mercedes-Benz shocks and struts, as well as other car makes. They've been producing shocks/struts4-5x longer than you have been living
Please stop trying. Also please stop bumping this god-awful thread.
