Rotoro rotors and pads on

Yesterday I finally got around to getting my Rotoro rotors and pads put on (from Snook). I must say, for looks alone they are worth the price!

I haven't really tested them out because they caution you to work them in over a few hundred miles and I intend to do so. But, I do know that the shimmey of warped rotors is gone!

I also got the oil, tranny fluid and Bosch +4 plugs put in, so I figure now is as good a time as any to hit the dyno.

For those of you experienced out there, which gear does the auto dyno in again? third?

A few posts say 3rd, but more say 4th, run in both, see the difference.

They're what i have on my car Bro. They're outstanding and cost $1300 for 13 inch slotted and cross drilled rotors, 4 caliper pistons, and ceramic pads.

If you look in the black market they are for sale by Snook. BTW--I just have the rotors and pads, not the big brake kit.

I've put about 50 miles on the car and can definately say now that all of the seating fluids have worn off that the rotors and pads stop the car discernably quicker and with more authority than the stock set up.

I think for all 4 rotors and Axis Ultimate pads it was about $430 shipped. Not bad at all. And, all of the non-face surfaces are electrostatically coated with black powder so that you will never see rust.

I'll snap some pix today and post them later.

For the 5AT, 3rd is the choice.

Correct. 4 and 5 are silly overdrives.
