In most cases BMB pads are less expensive than the yellows (from reputable retailers).If you don't want to pony up for the BM pads, the EBC yellow will give good results.
Man, you got that right, they're really proud of those yellows. Designed for "fast street use" aka street racing. I don't do much of that in my Wrangler. I think I'll stick with the BMB pads.In most cases BMB pads are less expensive than the yellows (from reputable retailers).
I hope that included the rotors, store brand pads for $100 seems high or I guess not what I'd do.I replaced them with O'Reilly's store brand ceramic pads. Around $100

I scoff. I don't think that's possible.Some people on here will scoff, previously someone had done a driveway brake job and installed all of the brake pads upside down and backwards
That works until it doesn't.Some people on here will scoff, but I drive a stock 2006 LJR on 31" BFG KO2 tires. When I discovered that previously someone had done a driveway brake job and installed all of the brake pads upside down and backwards I replaced them with O'Reilly's store brand ceramic pads. Around $100, TTTOTD.
The biggest difference, though, was bleeding them. The bleeder screws were rusted and rounded off. I got them out and replaced them with speed bleeders, which work fine. I bled out the entire system until I got clean brake fluid at every corner. Stops on a dime and I can coast to a stop (like I was taught) without penalty. I figure these brakes will be good forever.
Left side pads fit upside down and backwards meaning they are on the wrong side if you install them on the right side.I scoff. I don't think that's possible.
Well, I went to order BMB pads with Centric rotors, but BMB just raised the prices on everything, and by a lot on the rear set, between yesterday and today. Drat!

We held as long as we could but something has to happen when several of the parts go up by 100%.Well, I went to order BMB pads with Centric rotors, but BMB just raised the prices on everything, and by a lot on the rear set, between yesterday and today. Drat! Re-rethinking.
Do the front pads from Blaine if you can swing it. I don't think there's a problem mixing front/rear and the front pads will make the biggest difference in my opinion.Well, I went to order BMB pads with Centric rotors, but BMB just raised the prices on everything, and by a lot on the rear set, between yesterday and today.

Rockauto, I would not get premium rotors personally. I've been pretty hard on mine and they haven't warped or cracked. Ask Blaine about calipers, those are important and if they aren't leaking I wouldn't touch them. People generally like the feel of Blaines pads, it's not about going off a cliff or anything. I'd go ceramic if you skip the BM pads and not hybrid. Raybestos doesn't really do anything for me as a brand.I'm thinking about a premium set of rotors, hybrid (metal & ceramic) pads, and calipers from a good brand, perhaps Raybestos
@mrblaine, words of wisdom about calipers?... Ask Blaine about calipers, those are important and if they aren't leaking I wouldn't touch them. People generally like the feel of Blaines pads, it's not about going off a cliff or anything...
Don't fix what ain't broke. That and we likely have some good take out pads for at least the front if you want to pay shipping.@mrblaine, words of wisdom about calipers?
