Front Brake Kit 12.64in Drilled Slotted Rotors and Ceramic Pads

Our review of this front brake kit finds it best suited for owners of mid 2010s Chevy, Buick, GMC and Saab models who want an upgrade in appearance and stopping power without swapping to big brand OEM parts. The kit combines 12.64in drilled and slotted rotors with premium ceramic front pads and basic hardware, delivering a noticeable improvement in pedal feel and quieter operation compared with generic metallic pads. Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with a basic brake job, and the kit's fitment list targets a wide range of Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Saab vehicles.

Key Features

• 12.64 in front rotor: The rotor diameter matches factory 321mm applications to provide a direct fit for compatible Chevy, Buick, GMC and Saab models.
• Drilled and slotted design: The rotor pattern helps shed gases and water for more consistent braking under varied conditions.
• Ceramic brake pads: Premium ceramic material offers quieter stopping and generally less dust than standard metallic pads.
• Complete front kit: Ships with two front rotors, two front pads and necessary hardware so both sides can be serviced at once.
• OEM specification rotors: Built to exceed OEM specification to ensure the proper fit and finish for reliable performance.
• Warranty: Includes a long 10-year warranty that provides extra confidence in the parts' durability.

Who It's For

This kit is a sensible choice for owners of 2010-2017 Chevrolet Equinox, 2014-2020 Impala, 2013-2015 Malibu, several Buick LaCrosse and Regal years, 2010 Buick Allure, 2020-2021 Corvette and 2010-2017 GMC Terrain who need a front brake refresh with an emphasis on improved looks and smoother stopping. It is also appropriate for someone replacing both rotors and pads at once to restore braking performance.

It is not the best fit for owners of high performance GS Brembo models or vehicles that require a nonstandard rotor specification. If you need specialized racing compounds or OEM Brembo parts, look elsewhere.
