I just put EBC Ultimax rotors and pads on mine and they squeak worse than any new brakes I've ever had. The EBC slotted rotors and Green Stuff pads on my truck are quiet and powerful. Anyway, I can't recommend the EBC Ultimax parts at all.

Jiffy I am sorry to hear bring them back as soon as you can It will cost you alot of extra money if you wait

They killed my brand new rotors they started grinding like there was a rock in them and shortly after they started squeeling duralast crap sucks. I wound up putting some wearevers on and they squeeled as well could have been because the rotors were all grooved. So had the rotors cut this morning and a new set of Wagner Thermo Quite all is good third times the charm.

A little note never use cheap brake parts and never use duralast.

Mine went quick when it started grinding it was to late. If the rotors are good you can bring the pads back say they were squeeking and go get some ceramics for about $20 more

Idr what brand they were. I was gonna get duralast but WAY too expensive for pads and rotors. I ended up going to a family parts store and getting cheap rotors and the best non-ceramic pads I could get for about $50 less than what duracrap woulda cost me.
