Talking rotors and pads are on
it is unbelievable how much of a difference there is. of couse i had worn down pads and really screwed up rotors but still. The rotors i got are KVR and the pads are the axxis metal master. the brake feel is much improved and whereas with the old braking eqip. when i would hit the brakes at speeds >100 my brakes would fade badly and now they are rock solid. on top of all this they look a helluva lot better than the stock ones.
i am very impressed and highly reccommend them to anyone who needs to replace rotors or just wants to improve breaking.

4 kvr cross-drilled rotors + front and rear axxis metal master pads came out to around $680 w/ tax.

They look really good. I like them better than mines. Can't wait for KVR to come out with the 4 piston caliper for our cars. Add that and steel lines and you are done.
