I already got the EBC extra duty orange pads. Hopefully they are good because they were expensive compared to other pads. Will know soon.

Let me know if We can help you with any advice....
I've done four brake jobs with Raybestos Element3 pads and rotors and they've been great. If they make for my vehicles or a friend/family member that's what I use.
What aftermarket rotors do you normally use?
Same here. I think I've only put them on 3 vehicles but all good results. They will be what goes on my vehicles when they are due for brakes moving forward.
Haven’t used their pads in a few years, but their rotors are priced very well from Rockauto. For some reason they always ship out of NY for me so the shipping fee is higher.
The finish reminds me of the silver rotors on newer Honda’s.

What is the rating on the orange pads?

They will need 'bedding in' properly first before worrying. Let us know at [email protected] if you have any continuing issues. Thanks
Wagner coated rotors if in the rust belt. Your money should go to high quality pads and good quality rotors.
Shipping is a killer for rotors unless it's free like Amazon.

The trick is to buy from Rockauto and find a brand that ships from a warehouse close to you. On average, I pay $10-15 for shipping on 2 rotors and a set of pads.
I would be much happier with Rockauto if they would negotiate great rates with the various shipping companies and then offer free shipping on orders over $100 or $200.
The idea of charging customers shipping from each warehouse if your order needs to come from multiple warehouses is ABSURD. It's their problem not everything I want is in the closest warehouse, not mine.
It's possible RA has negotiated great shipping rates but is just sticking it to it's customers.
It is a numbers game. If RA offered free shipping they would just increase prices - on all items. In the current manner, you only pay for shipping when needed.
This guy get's it. There is no such thing as "free shipping".
Think I would check your calipers closely.
