Replacing Rotors and Brake Pads

[Azolyn]

I’ve tried searching the forum to see if there was already a post about this but could not find one. If someone finds the link for one, I would greatly appreciate it.
Anyways, I just got some new wheels put on the Mav recently and there was a rubbing noise on the right side about a day later. Got it aligned and asked the tech to check that side for what could be rubbing.
He noticed that the rotor has about a 1/4” wide scratch around the entire rotor. From the looks of it, something got lodged in the brake pads and just completely grinded away on the rotor.
Now I am having to replace both rotors and brake pads due to keeping the wear even.
It feels like not many people have had to change their brakes since the truck is relatively new so it’s been hard trying to find some good options.
I have found this one brake kit available and would like some opinions or better options.

Rock Auto is my "go to" for most parts.
The nice thing about the Maverick, it is based on Ford Escape and Ford Bronco Sport, "C2" platforms.
The brake replacement procedure should be very similar to those slightly older vehicles.
Also, the part numbers seem to match perfectly in most cases.
After doing several brake jobs, I have discovered the process is nearly the same for all makes/models of vehicles.

Thanks for mentioning RockAuto. It was hard finding a place that actually had what I needed. I didn’t want to go through Ford as they will charge me an arm and leg for one rotor. I will definitely check them out!

I get my brakes off ebay. Usually around 250 for a complete set of drilled slotted rotors and pads. I have many dirt roads where I live and the drilled slotted rotors help keep the pads clean. No grinding noises. They also bite hard when needed and much better for towing.

Yeah I was looking into getting some slotted rotors for performance and better stopping power. I’ll check Ebay as well
