Plain rotors work the best for most applications. Skip the drilled unless you like the looks and extra noise. They also can't be turned unless they are plain.

How many miles do you have on your Max so far? And is this the first change?

Do you have to purchase 1 box, as it comes in an "axle set" or is that just for one side? If That's true, then you'd need two axles sets for the front. And two axles sets for the back, correct?

You get the complete set for the front or rear. Meaning four pads in each set.

I keep hearing its more noice, but then many people say its not much more noice.
I just want to get a better brake feeling then the stock, not a huge fan of the stock brakes.


The reviews from the forum are so mixed..LOL


I do respect everyone's opinions on here, cause they def know more then the avg mechanic out there.

I have never gotten any noise from rotors personally but im sure it happens. I always use rotors from R1 concepts and have ran slotted only as well as drilled and slotted which are currently on my car now with akebono pads and are quiet as a mouse. the choices called out are good choices as well.
