You get two drilled and slotted rotors measuring 12.8 inches (325 mm) across and a set of ceramic brake pads for the front axle. Easy Life Markets sells it as one matched set, which saves you sourcing rotors in one place and pads in another and hoping they suit each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese are big, heavy family crossovers, and the front brakes do most of the work of stopping them. Years of school runs, motorway driving and full loads of passengers leave the front rotors scored or uneven and the pads thin. You notice it as a shake in the steering wheel when you slow down, a squeal, or a pedal that sits lower than it used to. Fitting fresh rotors and pads together is the usual cure.

Drilled holes and angled slots run across both braking faces. According to the supplier, the holes help the rotor shed heat, and the slots stop water from sitting on the surface and sweep dust away from the pad. The grey areas you see on the hat and edges are a galvanized coating. Its job is to slow down rust on the parts the pads never touch, which also keeps the rotor looking tidy behind open-spoke wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pads use a ceramic friction material. The supplier describes them as resistant to high temperatures and wear, and lower in dust and noise than ordinary pads. Less dust means cleaner front wheels, which owners of these vehicles tend to appreciate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen the Front Brakes Are Due\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe steering wheel shimmies when you brake from speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou hear squealing, or a harsh grinding once the pads are worn out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe rotor face shows deep grooves, cracks or blue heat spots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere is a pronounced lip around the rotor's outer edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe pad material is nearly down to the metal backing plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe pedal travels further before the vehicle slows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting Advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaise the front of the vehicle on a level surface and support it on axle stands.

Make eight to ten moderate stops from around 50 km\/h down to walking pace, leaving a short gap between each one, and avoid sitting with your foot hard on the pedal while the brakes are hot. After that, drive gently for the first couple of hundred kilometres. A light whirring sound from drilled and slotted rotors is normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Should Buy This Kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits Traverse, Enclave, Acadia and Outlook owners who service their own vehicles, as well as independent garages that want rotors and pads in a single box.
