If so, which ones did you pick? There's about a million of em. A lot bigger selection than the 3 offered at Oreilly. This is for my 14 Ram 1500 FYI.
Also, if wrong bored, I apologize, I just figured it was a better spot than the OT lounge.

Have you tried Rock Auto? Great selection and excellent customer service.

I got a set of used Wagner Threma Quite from amazon for about 1/2 price for the F150. The used amazon stuff is open box returns. Auto parts usually means the person ordered the wrong stuff and returned it. So far I have bought used spark plugs, spark plug boots and an oil filter from amazon and all arrived in new condition. No worries if I am dis-satisfied Amazon will take anything back.
I only buy the used stuff from Amazon outlet warehouse.

I buy all my automotive stuff from AutoAnything.com. Best prices, best selection, and very easy to find a 20% off coupon.
If I could find what I wanted/needed on Amazon, I would not hesitate in buying from them. I have returned many things and typically they give the money back that day and just ask that you return the item (on their dime) within a month.

Thanks to both of you. Rock Auto looks like a pretty fantastic site, and I'd never even heard of Amazon warehouse. Yall learnin me good.

I've used Rock Auto with a lot of success.

I look up the part # on Rock and price check on Amazon. Heavy items like brake rotors come out a good bit cheaper on Amazon due to free shipping. Rock sometimes ships orders with multiple parts from multiple warehouse locations killing the deal due paying shipping on separate boxes. However I do buy from Rock on occasion with good results.

one thing with Rockauto you have to be careful of is the shipping. If you order multiple parts, they may be in different locations, so they will charge you shipping from each location. That can eat int oyour savings

AutoAnything is pretty good too but whatever you buy DON'T BUY LIFETIME PADS from anyone!!!!!!

Why? I've been purchasing the lifetime pads from Advanced Auto Parts (tune jingle in my head) for awhile now and have ZERO problem taking my old pads in and exchanging them, free of charge, for some new ones.

Because most (if not all) lifetime pads are made of predominately metal which wears your rotors out faster. It's cheaper to replace pads vs. rotors.

I just keep getting the same ceramic set every time. Haven't had a problem with any of my rotors yet (fingers crossed). Guess it's a personal preference though.

I'm certainly glad it's working out for you & obviously you picked a set that, from my experiences, that is the outlier but if it's working don't fix it (pun intended).

+1 for AutoAnything. I bought a set of EBC rotors and pads with a coupon code and it saved me hundreds over the next cheapest e-tailer.
