Ordered new rotors and pads

I finally got around to ordering some new pads and since I have heard a lot the fact that you should replace the rotors at the same time I did that to. I ordered powerslot slotted rotors for the front and back. For pads I ordered hawk pads. I forget what model the pads are. I am also going to have the brakes calipers painted silver at the same time they new parts are installed. Should be getting done some time in the next week or so.

Changing rotors the same time as pads is more of a German car thing. However, Machining the rotors when you change pads is recommended so that your new pads will last longer and break in better.

The German cars have softer rotors. Thus, they need to be changed every time you change the pads. I think it's so that the rotors dont warp as easy when you're trying to brake from 150mph on the autobahn. The harder rotors would probably warp easier.

Nice. I prolly woulda went the StopTech route. I think they may even be cheaper than PS @ $107front/76rear. I was gonna get these for Dzuy minus 10% but they only had the rears in stock for the next 2-3 weeks...
