rice_rocket Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Are you kidding me?!?! AC delco is the cheapo no-name brand that oem people order! There is NOT EVEN A COMPARISON between the dba rotors and ebc pads! If you look at the thickness of the rotors, it'll probably be half (maybe exaggerating a little) .. but they are just cheapo replacements most shops get from the suppliers.

mwiener2 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 They are OEM direct replacements. Nothing more, nothing less. My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nx2000 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Might be a good option if he's just going to be daily driving the car and not looking for any performance mods. I'm in the same boat as the car is used as the "family hauler." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwiener2 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 that's what he had in stock, not necessarily what he recommends My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I doubt he had them in stock. More likely that is the brand that has the biggest profit margin of the brands his parts jobber carries. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxiboy Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 so he is recommending me ac delco brakes coz they apparently last and perform There will always be a trade-off...tires, engine, brakes, etc. You cannot have your pie and eat it too. As Dr. Ferdinand Porsche once said, the perfect race car is the one that breaks down after crossing the finish line. In your case, I wonder how much cheaper those ac delco brands are compared to this community's trusted brake pad brands like Hawk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
