I hear ya. Performance is definitely better, but then again, I'm comparing them to stock pads and rotors with ~45k on them. Pretty much anything would feel better!

It's been raining here lately and I've finally gotten some time to test them in non-ideal conditions, including one emergency stop (crested a hill and there was a car stopped trying to turn left onto a side road), and I've been very pleased.

I can't say the dusting problem is any better than stock though. I'm wondering if a plain (not slotted, drilled or dimpled) rotor would work better for reducing dusting since there would be no edges to cut into the pad like there are with slotted, drilled or dimpled rotors. I think I'll try that next time around.

got the rear set in today. my god they are sexyyyyy!!

 

those are rears not fronts

 

you are most definately correct. my mistake. how could you tell!? i was tricking you..

 

wide hub for parking brake, and its not narrow hub with pressed bearing races

Dang, 3 beers down in a little over an hour, and im still sharp

 

if i didnt have the part number, i wouldnt know which is which. i forgot your the suspension/wheel/brake guru.

 

you have so many shoes and yet youre not wearing any of them?

 

I had to go back and look at the pictures to see what you were talking about

 

dude, the one thing i dont miss about my Girlfriend is her talkin **** about my shoe collection. i guess you could say i have an obsession, but ive got over 50 pairs, including un opened boxes from Michael Jordan Original nike shoes!!! and kobe bryant's last shoes before he canceled with adidas. but you happened to catch me in a pic with no shoes... :guilty:

only part of it

 

I knew there wasn't a female in the house.. Otherwise you'd be sleeping the garage after putting that oily rotor on the carpet to take a photo.. LOL

haha exactly. got my set of hawk hps pads in today. all i need is my front rotors and im set. looking at installing next mid week, bc my buddy has the jack.

 

1 word. nightmare. Got the front rotors and pads put on yesterday, along with the calipers painting. not only did it take 5 hrs to do, the rotors are warped. the brake peddle pulsates when applying pressure. everything was done correctly with my buddy who has installed brakes multiple times. Gonna have my mechanic check it out tomorrow just in case. I am told that about 25% of the time aftermarket rotors will be sent out warped. they are either stacked too high in the warehouse, dropped, not smoothed 100%, or whatever. im pissed. We did everything from compressing the pistons back down, and packing the bearings and all that fun stuff. Left a message for Damon at Tire rack who sold me the stuff, but hasnt called me back yet. The only thing i know that we need to change, but is no big deal, is the nut behind the cotter pin needs to be slightly loose to keep the bearings from over heating. That should have no effect on the brakes pulsating. so, there is it. As of now, im rollin around with warped brand new slotted rotors. awesome.

 

Damn dude... that sux

 

i have those DVS's but in all white and in white and gray

 

i bet they are cleaner too haha
