If rims/rubber are "NEW SHOES" then I'd like to show off my new "SOCKS" laugh.gif

I went with a Crossdrilled Rotor and PBR Ceramic Pads and dirty yellow calipers... lol. biggrin.gif

The last brake pads I had on were crap and they were HUGE dust'rs. These ones are performance rated and I was recommended them because of their low dust rating.




What do you think? I still have to do the rears, but I can do those another night. I love having a semi-heated garage!

looks sharp.

god im never gonna figure this out. I thought drilled rotors = bad. brembo says so, and so do a bunch of other sources. But i keep seeing OEM's selling cars with drilled disks and plenty of cars in magazines with them. What gives? I thought drilling became obsolete ages ago when pads stopped forming a gas layer under hard braking... also I've read that drilled rotors offer no additional cooling and infact cant hold up to heat without cracking. the only advantage i can see is the additional bite you get and a decreased chance of glazing your pads... but don slotted rotors do the same without the shortcomings of the drilled? frown.gif confused.gif

im so confused at this point.
