Installed ACP rotors, and MetalMaster Pads

I just installed these tonight. So far so good, I really didnt drive hard with them yet, since they need some breaking in. I'll give you guys an update in a week.

Spiroh, i'm having the Metalmasters installed on Monday so i'll be looking to hear your impressions. I'm not upgrading the rotors at this time, but i'm thinking about it.

I dont like the metal masters, yes I have them, they squeak(must be high metal content) even though I put new zinc coated rotors on and never touched the face of the new pads or rotors(made sure they were clean), put the shims back on and also put anti-squeal gel on the back of the pads, they also dust alot and dont have THAT much more bite over stock pads...overall I dont recommend them...I'm gonna try the EBC greenstuff pads next time around...

Ive only had them on for a couple of days, and no problems whatsoever. I've been doing some testing to see if I hear any squeaks, and I don't. Maybe it has to do with the fact, that the rotors and pads are new. I'll take some pics today. I did the install with my cousin, and we didnt use any spray for the pads.
