They still suck. When I put ssbc rotors on my truck I had to use a set of old brake pads or sand the bran new pads way down in order for them to fit. I opted to use the old pads as really nothing was wrong with them The problem I had was the cruddy bear rotors that I had a machine shop turn against there better judgement.

SSBC is the worst brake company on earth. None of their **** seems to work. I have had no problems with the PBR calipers...Baer or OEM.

My only experience is the rotors that I bought. They seem to be fine at the moment. Time will tell though.

From ad above:

07+ calipers:
Soooo, does this mean that the 07 calipers will work on a 99?? Is this the same as the 05+ calipers that I've seen threads about? And, what size are the rotors?
