No, the set I got was pads and rotors only, which of course bit me in the a** later. The PowerStop pads lasted 43K miles and when I went to replace them, turned out one of my front calipers was stuck. Didn't have much choice with the truck on stands and having to work the next morning so I replaced both front calipers with Autozone parts. Worked out okay since they have a pretty good warranty.
BTW, the rotors still looked pristine when I changed the pads at 43K miles so I called PowerStop and asked whether it was necessary to resurface or replace them. They said no, as long as they looked good and had been properly bedded in when installed, which they had. That was a while ago and everything's still good.
