It won't stop the groaning from the front of the car. The pads and rotors are good quality and will give you comparable stopping distances to OEM. At much cheaper prices.

If you are replacing the rear rotors, consider replacing the brake shoes and hardware. Depending on the brake cable linkage behind the rotor, you might want to call FCP and have them supply the 2 pieces for each cable end. Rust can be nasty.

Make sure you buy a couple of packets of silicone brake grease, clean and grease the slide pins. Clean the hub with a wire brush and coat it thinly with brake grease to keep the rust down, on all 4 wheels.
