Discount Tire Direct now offers BRAKES and ROTORS? - Page 3

**Carbeaux** · 08-14-2009, 07:08 AM

If you're asking me, I haven't bought any yet. I do believe that I'll go with the slotted fronts with the green pads and keep the rear rotors on and just go to green pads on those.

Hello Ed, I'm not sure if any of the guys here have purchased these or not. We just launched this product line so I am interested to see what the guys here think of them as well. Hopefully someone here will chime in and add some feedback for you. Thanks for the questions.

Within the next week or so, I should be placing my order for the above, so I'll keep folks posted afterwards.

You have the green stuff pads listed as 3000 series. EBC's website has 2000,6000, and 7000 series pads listed. What are the 3000 series pads ? Also looking at other sellers on ebay your between $5-$10 more then other vendors on the pads. Is this a "supporting vendor" fee? I REALLY need new pads and had decided on ebay to get me EBC pads then I came across this post and would rather buy from someone here.

OK. I'm ready to order, but since the site listed for DT on eBay doesn't yet have anything for my truck I need guidance from DT on how to proceed.

PM sent to DT as well.

Thanks for catching our typo, only the 6000 series is available for the Titan. Edit has been made to the OP.

In regards to other eBay retailers, do you have a link I can compare prices? Our competitive prices do include freight. If another competitor has a cheaper delivered price we would be happy to beat it

Responding to your PM next.

Thank you for your support.

Bump for some pads and rotors.

**Carbeaux** · 08-17-2009, 12:57 PM

Bump for order placed!

Got a call from DT and got that order in. Going with the green stuff pads front and rear and the slotted rotors front. Painless process to order, so thanks, "M" for the help. He said they should be here by the weekend, but I'm pretty strapped for time this weekend. Probably be the next weekend before I get 'em on. Soon as I do I'll let you guys know what I think!

**Carbeaux** · 09-27-2009, 03:04 PM

I'll push this one back to the top. Got the pads and rotors in. Through no fault or error on the part of Discount, EBC is at the moment (and apparently for the foreseeable near future) shipping yellow pads for the front instead of green pads. So what I have are yellows front, green rear, and the EBC slotted front rotors. Got it all on today, so after they're worn in a bit I'll let you guys know what I think of them.

Why was I not aware that DTD carried brakes and rotors? I work at DTC and we dont get all that cool stuff lol. I am definitely gonna call direct in the morning and check on this...wonder what else they can get for me lol

**Discount Tire** · 09-28-2009, 12:51 PM

lol, Hello Sean thanks for the comments. I'll mention it to the powers that be here. Maybe they can send out a company bulletin or something to let all employees know that they can order them from us. I know there isn't a plan for the stores to carry them at this time but anything can happen in the future.

Thanks for the post Carbeaux, we'd love to hear your $.02 when you have put some miles on them.

Absolutely I'll give an update. The true test comes shortly after a good bedding process. That's when the travel trailer gets hooked up. Warped rotors made me need the replacement, but the towing I do made me want to do the slotted upgrade. More to come after that experience.

I also wanted to let you guys out there know that the DD guys were absolutely awesome to work with processing my order and dealing with my queries as to the status of my order. I probably drove the guy crazy, but he never let on that I did.

We appreciate the kind words and you didn't drive us crazy. If anything we drove you crazy with all the surprises we encountered

**Carbeaux** · 09-28-2009, 06:24 PM

It was a learning process. New supplier for you, so there are bound to be some surprises along the way. What I appreciated most was that in the process you guys were never anything but honest about what was going on. That goes a long way in my book.
