Has anyone used crossdrilled/slotted rotors off ebay? The prices there are much cheaper than most websites. Now, I know you get what you pay for, that is why I am asking.

Also, does anyone make an aluminum brake drum for our trucks? That was a trick on the old Camaro board I used to be on.

I got drilled & slotted rotors for the wife's PT Cruiser....got them locally from brake warehouse we deal with at work. Cost me about $300 for all 4....

in my opinion, the ebay rotors are china crap...

I don't think aluminum rotors are made for the Dakotas....especially if it's a 2wd...hub is part of rotor on it

my 2-cents

Cool man, I will be looking around for some quality name brand pieces. Do you notice the difference with them on?

I was referring to the rear drum for aluminum. Sorry for the confusion.

the only reason I went with the upgraded rotors was because the wife is kinda hard on brakes..the OE rotors were down to minimum specs..could not turn them again.

and I don't think aluminum is offered for the rears either...and it would be way hard on the pocketbook to make a set...especially being 6 lug drums...the cost to make a pair would be way more than the amount of weight saved....

I'm at 2.5 years,20k miles & 2 winters on e-bay rotors and premium metallic pads and so far so good. I did clean and paint non-machined surfaces before installing. I don't drive terribly hard. Mine is an 03 with 4 wheel disc.

currently using the setup your asking about. Drilled and slotted rotors from ebay and ceramic pads from autozone :))) and the pair is a big upgrade from stock.
