I swapped out my worn out OEM units for a set of these hoping for an increase in performance as well as reduced stopping times and better heat dissipation while towing. I pared this kit with a set of OEM reman calipers to round out the fronts with all new stuff.
Firstly, these are very nicely made and nice looking units. The fit and finish on the pads is second to none and the rotors look fantastic, and should for some time to come. I have seen a number of reviews stating that not only do these perform better than stock or OEM, but they also produce significantly less brake dust. An added benefit.
The break in process is VERY specific, please be sure to follow this exactly. 5 x 40-10 hard stops, 5 x 35-5 moderate stops followed by 5 min of driving around to cool down. It works, but be sure to do this to bed them in properly or you will likely be disappointed. Give yourself the space to do this properly and safely… I did it at 10 at night to avoid traffic (and looking like a psycho).
After bed in the brakes are already superb. Tons of power and significantly better braking than the old OEM units (which still have 50% pad left). They are also coated, so the rotors should look and perform well for years to come.
Will be doing the rears soon too now!
Pros:
– Looks
– Performance
– Coated rotors for longevity
Cons:
– None that I can see
18 month update… these brakes perform VERY well. Quiet, powerful, low low dust compared to any other pad I have used, and the rotors still look as new. VERY impressed. Ordering the matching rears ASAP.

Great brakes. I put them on all my vehicles. Improved braking performance from OEM and the zinc coating keeps them from rusting badly from the harsh salt corrosion from the winters. They last quite a few years. Recommended.

Ram 1500. Stop great. Great price. No noise

Update- I have changed my rating to 5. 30k km later on. 16 Ram 1500. Brakes work great. No brake dust that I can see. Not like OEM. Still look new. No rust at all. I’m surprised living in Southern Ontario the road salt capital of North America. Nice looking brake still. Just looking at them my truck looks faster. They feel and stop great. Definitely would buy again. Actually convinced Mom to get some for her truck and I just installed the full kit on it.
I gave only 2 stars because they sent me a pressure washer instead and wanted me to bring it to the post office. Lol. That’s not shopping online. It was a big pain. My brake change was obviously delayed due to this. A few more phone calls than I wanted to make we got it taken care of and another set was sent out. In all it was about 2-3 weeks to get them when it was originally 3 days.

Much better stopping force over the oem brakes that came on my vehicle. My truck is full of tools most of the time and the oem brakes were definitely not adequate for my personal pick up truck needs. I thought they were a little bit better after installing. Then I had to slam the brakes on a 400 series highway to avoid an accident. Wow they worked well beyond my expectations. I probably have almost 1000 pounds of equipment in the back and was able to handle the crazy highway situation with ease. It was a nail biter but not a difficult nail biter.

Everything was included in the kit and the quality is excellent.

Quality seems nice. Stopping power is excellent. Definitely better than OEM. Even when pulling my trailer there were zero issues. No squeal sounds, hardly any brake dust. Would highly recommend.

Far less expensive to do my own brakes than having the repair shop do them, and this is with all new parts! Cost me less than half what a shop would’ve charged me. Great quality. Included all components and instructions are easy to find online for the process. Fit perfectly and function like new. Look great and come with a rust resistant coating. Definitely follow the instructions to break them in properly. I didn’t break in my first set right, and got glazed rotors as a result, but this time I broke them in solving that challenge.

I got 4 years and about 60k miles out of the old ones. They stop well, wear well, and don’t make any noise. This is my second set and I’ll buy a third when these eventually need replacement.

These were a simply install and work well. I like the look but I’m not sure I noticed too much of a significant performance upgrade over the OEM brakes. Perhaps when warmed up under heavy load these would pick up where OEM pads would fade but under standard loads expect these to perform the basic needs but not blow you away with added brake force.
After 4 months, the rotors still look great and show no signs of rust (I’m in the southeast for reference). They do not produce more than OEM dust and are dead silent so far.
I can easily recommend these although for the price, I might expect a bigger performance increase over factory equipment.

Wasn’t sure because Amazon doesn’t know what a Ram Warlock is. But after some reading, the Warlock falls under the 1500 Classic when looking up parts. Perfect fit. My calipers locked up so I combined these with new calipers and everything fit. No, tight squeeze, or misaligned parts. Very happy and they look amazing.
Randy Jones –
They have only bin installed for a week but so far i am impressed. Notice the stopping and how quiet they are. I only put them on the front but will put them on the back when the back needs replacing. Hope i can say the same in 1 year from now.

This brake up grade is a great setup, better then stock.
