Ebay Hydra Brakes reviews?

Anyone ever used them? I see they are based off Scarborough but only sell online.

My friend bought Powerstop pads and rotors, and they squeal so badly. Do yours?

Yet to be shipped, but they all squeal if you don't grease them well with copper anti seize

That is true, but sport brake pads can squeal simply because of their compound at low temperatures. I think that's what's happening to my friend.

Put mine in last weekend, all 4 corners. Greased everything well, and zero squeals.
Just some guy in Ottawa.

On a serious note I've been looking at them as well. There seem to be about 3-4 suppliers on eBay that are selling rotor and pad packages that are similar. I've tried some from a different seller and had them last about 2-3 years without issue. About the same as OEM. I suspect I'll just buy the Hydra kit. Its the only one I found that has a black coating to prevent rust.

Let us know how it goes.

Remember you gotta spray them with brake cleaner before installing
