I'm a bit bored at the moment, so here's a story: I worked in auto parts at dealerships for close to ten years and wrenched before that, and there are certain companies that I came to recognize as making quality products. Federal Mogul (parent company of Wagner, MOOG, Fel-Pro, etc.) is one of them. The last time I replaced the front brakes on my 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT, I decided to cheap out a bit with an inexpensive eBay kit. It came with slotted and cross-drilled rotors, so I figured it was worth a shot; I was wrong. The brakes squealed from day one, and the rotors quickly developed a shake from either improper machining or poor composition.
When I opened these rotors, they seemed to be made to a higher standard. I specifically chose these for their quality and installed them along with a set of Wagner ThermoQuiet QC857, and I'm not disappointed. When I ordered them from Amazon, they were roughly $25 each, making them around half the price of locally available brands like Durastop or Wearever. If these fail to meet my high expectations, I'll update this review, but I have a good feeling about them.
My advice for anyone considering auto parts from Amazon is to not necessarily trust the Amazon catalog. Go to the manufacturer's website, and look up the part number there. For Federal Mogul parts, like Wagner brakes, you can verify the part numbers at fme-cat.com.
Working well, running quite and smooth.
Great high quality replacement brake rotors.
Will definitely use again.
