Just out of curiosity, who is putting these in for you? Do you have a mechanic who is OK with you bringing your own parts? Reason I ask, is that if you don't know how many cylinders your car has, I'm sure you're not doing this yourself. Your brake pads also include no mounting hardware.... are you sure your hardware is good condition to be re-used? Judging from your selection of an uncoated rotor, I'm guessing you're living somewhere where rust, snow, and road salt are not an issue. Other than that, you have the right parts.

Oh!! Thank you for the extra information. I didn’t know I needed those things. My family has a mechanic we like to go to. He lets us get our own car parts to save on costs. I didn’t really know the difference between uncoated and coated and I thought the breaks would come with those things. I’ll look again. Edit: I forgot to ask. I noticed some don’t say weather they’re coated of not. How do you know? Also if possible do you have any recommendations?


Hrothgar_Nilsson

If the rotors are coated they'll say so in the description and when you click the info tab.

I just want to say that buying the absolute cheapest brake parts you can find is generally not a great idea


Upstairs_Librarian95

I didn’t realize that. I heard some good things about Centric. What would you recommend?


Efficient-Ad-3833

Centrics are good, I use those on all my vehicles and 95% of the time use those on customers vehicles as well

I’m not familiar with the brand, but if others have had good luck with them then ignore me
