Look great! So how difficult was it to replace the Rotors? How much time? I am considering replacing mine as I have a bit of a shimmy in my front brakes so the originals need to be turned. I would like to get new ones but as I have never done this kind of thing before, would like some advice..

Thanks
R

so how's the difference?
Been to the track with those yet?

I recently did a quarter mile run on a deserted road and my brakes were not up to the power of the car's engine in getting me down from 100+ mph! Had to REALLY get on the brake pedal with much more force than ever, as I had a cross street with a red light and for a second I thought I was experiencing brake failure!

Hey guys. First off if you want a set for a real great price pm 5spd07gt and he'll get you the link to where to buy along with the discount code. But you better hurry before the deal is over!

Stopping power is a lot better from stock but that has to do more from the pads. These are mostly for looks with slightly better performance over stock keeping your pads cool and brake dust to a minimum.

That "black box" is a godsend for black cars...I used to be a detailer and this is by far the best $20 you can spend on a black car to clean it up
