BJ's brake rotor and hub assembly

Looking at new brake rotors and hubs for my 91 waggy. The BJ's stuff looks like the best quality (by the description) stuff available. It says made it usa but doesnt say what brand. ??

Anyone used these and been pleased with them? They are about $30 more a piece than the Raybestos rotors on Rockauto. But if they are high quality I dont mind the extra cash so much.

Anyone have any different suggestions?

thanks!

So I emailed BJ's and they are Raybestos rotors which means you can get them cheaper at Rock Auto. But I would assume BJ's would price match if you asked them.

FYI after some research i'm not so sure the Raybestos stuff is made in the USA as advertised on BJ's. Bendix which I believe is made in the US are also for sale on rock auto for less as a hub/rotor assembly.


Rockauto.com

Raybestos #56229 $109.79
Bendix #PRT5514 $72.79

I replaced the hub/rotor on my '78 J-10 a few years ago (three?) using BJ's setup. Have an incomplete write-up on the install at:

http://www.jeep-trucks.com/index.php?page=guide&group=axle&part=front&action= d44_wheel_bearings

Steps 4 through 8 will probably be of the most interest to you...

The only brakes I buy are Raybestos pro grade. Rock Auto always has the best prices, even with shipping.

Does anyone know if Raybestos Pro grade standard rotors are rated for ceramic pads?
