BBK can be costly...
Rotora BBK pads lasted me about 10k miles... granted, I drive my car pretty hard and I don't really understand the concept of early braking, but geez, 10k miles. And they cost just under 160 bucks for replacement.
Without further ado, here are the pictures.... after 10k miles, this is what happened to them, one of them down to the back plate... caught it just in time.
But fear not, the new ones are here.
Just wanted to bitch about the pads price and their longevity, or lack thereof. Despite all this, the new pads reminded me of how great these brakes are.

Congras to the club. Thats part of the awsome braking, the reduced life of teh pad. You need to check into other pads!

I'll just leave you the words of the mighty Mos Def:
"Brook-nahm Vietnam / The heat is on
Put your joint on cruise
In a rush you scuff your brake shoes / just cool and relax
Take a breath, take ten paces back"

Pure adrenaline, whats the diff
with the original rotors and warping, if i get cross drilled an slotted rotors, does it STOP WARPING, or PROLONG the rotor to warp?
so if i get a BBK is it really REALLY WORTH IT?????

Metal + heat cycles = warping inevitable
Any brakes can warp... it's just a matter of how high the threshold is, and how well you take care of them.
Is it worth the money? Yes, every penny.
