Cheap is cheap But I would recomend having them turned before installing them. It's a 50/50 shot at getting a set thats withen spec on the run out. Even on premuim rotors, we always found the best results by turning them prior to installing them.

What are you looking to get for the front calipers and brackets?

My local NAPA has A1 Cardone calipers, and they were $68 with the core. The part number they gave me doesn't get any hits online though. Summit and eBay have Cardone calipers for like $40 though.

I did the Hydroboost conversion and Braided lines and that was more than enough braking for my truck IMO.

$100 can even throw in some used rotors that should be turnable if you want to swing by and pick them up.

He works for Orielly auto parts. We spent awhile going back and forth looking to make sure.

The Suburban rotors when I looked up the part number it was for an 07 Z71 Suburban.
