I purchased and ran a Brake Motive front and rear cross drilled / slotted rotors with ceramic pads but after only 8k miles they are warped and making more noise than my old lady.... Please speak up if you have a great performance brake suggestion. Anyone happen to find performance calipers that work? Brembo brake package that can work etc?

Email Brake Motive back! They should replace them. I had a set of those on my 05 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, and I put 15K on them without any issues. Did you bed in the brake pads properly upon installation?

I agree with Best4x4. Call them for possible warranty. Did you properly break them in? I just installed PowerStop on all four corners, only 200 miles and I'm still light on the pedal.

I have DBA on my 06 gto and with the slots you get a little noise but no squeal. they are very high quality and a bit high price but im happy with them.As for the H3 I run the GM breaks and rotters.

Yep Power Stop setup on my H3 Alpha and very little brake dust, no noise, and great stopping power. Was this an Ebay Seller? I know I've seen a few listed as Brake Motive, and actually they're just the cheapest rotors/pads that are then drilled/slotted vs what Brake Motive actually uses/sells. I ordered directly from the Brake Motive Seller on Ebay, and zero complaints on that Jeep. With such little use I'm sure you'd qualify for a warranty claim. They could be cool and send replacements or they could say they were installed wrong, or that they we're bedded in properly.

Certainly worth a try though!

I've used Brake Motive for brakes on almost every vehicle I've owned in the past few years. Not a single complaint from me. They're working VERY well on the H3.


BTW, the brakes that Brake Motive sell are actually Power Stop, just without the crazy markup that some people offer.

Honestly, the brakes on the H3 are great. If you don't get any resolution, I don't think there's anything wrong with going back to OEM. I have 150,000+ miles with no issues.
