I've been running this setup since January 5th I believe and they are still just as phenomenal as the day I put them on. That's a good price for a great setup that doesn't leave your wallet screaming in agony.

I've put these breaks on 3 of our vehicles (including the Marauder) and they have worked great on all of them. I highly recommend these.

I installed this package last month. Easy (relatively) installation and I also took the time to install my SS Brake lines. I re-used my calipers from my old Marauder since they were still painted blue, but the calipers from the newer Marauder I will take my time to scrub and paint.
I have had no issues (well except for the fact my parking brake shoes disintegrated when taking my rear rotors off. i replaced the shoes, but just need to get them tweaked), but highly recommend this brake kit for folks looking for a cheaper alternative to the "Big Brake" kit. You're not breaking the bank and the slotted/drilled rotors look great!

I just ordered a set based on all of your comments. Even at $201+ they look like a fair deal.
they sure look nice behind the wheels

Yes had it for a year still great. At the time for under $500 I got this kit with hawk hps pads and Ss lines. Now the front end dives under hard breaking and pedal feel is soooo much better!!! No more marshmallow break pedal thanks to the lines

Yes these are absolutely a a more affordable alternative to big brakes. They look great and work amazing. Here's a link to my original thread about them... http://mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?p=1257467

Yes, they're a cheap alternative. Performance will be a lot closer to stock than to a big brake kit. Same size rotors will get you the same stopping power, even with harder pads and lines.

thanks for the link bill, i just need to replace warped rotors or check my suspension to see whats causing a slight vibration when braking..lifespeed i understand the braking will remain the same, rotors will just maintain cooler and hopefully last longer

Just use OEM pads - they're easier on the rotors and work well if your rotors are true. I ran Hawk HPS before upgrading to Wilwood and they seemed to generate more dust and rotor warpage.

thanks for the heads up, haven't had time to lift the car and inspect the suspension and rotors, from the looks with rims on i see the pads have a lot of life left but won't matter if rotors are warped and have uneven wear, ill be doing it today later in the morning once my night shift ends as this is my daily and needs to be in top shape. i just hope not all the ball joints need replacing as that is going to run me a good price especially if i go with moog like i do with my other vehicles unless i find a cheaper alternative for suspension aswell

When I did mine I found that these kits actually have slightly larger pads than stock = more surface area contact on the rotors, and as I found, improved stopping performance. For the money they're a great deal.
I even spent the extra $80 to get them shipped to Canada (you guys are lucky in the US buying car parts with all the free shipping out there!!!)
EDIT: Forgot to mention I've had them on for over 3 years now, and almost 20K miles. Not a single issue and they still look great.

Hows yhe pads that come with these? Dust levels low? I just ordered mine

Very little or no dust on all of my vehicles with the power stop pads! Much better than other brands I have tried previously.
