NO MORE WARPED TO SHIT, RUSTY AS FUCK stock rotors. EWWW!!!! I cant wait to install it all. Install is goin down this saturday, will post pics of the finished look this weekend. By the way, the box that everything came in Weighed 65lbs. HEAVY AS SHIT for a package lol. Was like DEAD WEIGHT when i picked it up.

Yes sir I know. They look so good though. I wanted a Saber Grill, but cannot seem to find one. Like I said though, nice Rotors. I'm looking into some slotted rotors maybe end of summer time after the ones I have are horribly warped.

Yea? No Complaints about them?? No warping or anything??? Im positive that the one other member on this forum that was complaining about his Rotoras warping on him really quick and soon was deff a bunch of bullshit. He must of done something wrong, BAD to fuck up his rotoras. I just cant see these good rotors warping that quick due to natural driving.

No warping, brakes really smoothly I have Wagner ThermoQuiet pads in the front with AEM pads in the back. But after a months driving the rotors start to look like shit with the rusting rings around the hub.

I can live with the rusting right around the hub

IF you would of read what i wrote at the top of this thread you would know where i ordered it from. NO, I ordered it from EXCELERATE who's a Vendor on this forum. He sells all kinds of performance shit for our TL's. All in all for the rotors and pads, it cost me $455. That price includes the rotors and pads plus shipping and 3% pay pal merchant fee that me as the buyer has to pay.

My rotora slotted rotors were done after the first day. Improperly bed them and have been warped, squeaky and awful ever since.

All 4 brakes need to be changed again though...been about 40k for the front and 50-60k for the back. I can hear the squealing from that metal bar hitting the rotor.

I Dont mean to offend anyone in this thread or, on this forum, but its just a lil retarted when members ask where you got something from, when you already specified that information in the beginning post of the thread. Its like carlos mencia says, DEE DEE DEE... for those who are retarted enough for not reading the creators post first. Im not saying that anyone is literally retarted on this forum, i just find it funny how people skip the writing, and then wana ask you questions when the answers to them are in the writing at the beginning of the thread. Get me? I Apologize to anyone who felt that i was comming off as a so called "dick" which i really am not. I didnt mean for it to be read that way k. Thanks. And no i will not be bumping my thread every other day so chill the freak out.

Looks good.

You don't have to worry about warpage if you break/bed them in properly and torque the lug nuts properly (80 ft lbs) and in a star pattern.

oh wow, just got yelled and got called retarted for not reading...that kinda harsh. I actually did read it and it skipped my mind that you bought it from Excelerate after looking at the pics of the rotors. Cause before i was looking at Mr.HeelToes packaged rotors and pads combo which are the racingbrake and hawks so I got confused. :P I'm shopping around for new rotors and pads and trying to find the right price. Sorry if I pissed you off cause I didn't "read".

Heeltoeauto.com has got the saber grills for our cars if your still looking. Great customer service too. I've been looking high and low for the mugen grill but gave up awhile back after not finding it. i'm gonna keep trying though.

Check to make sure you still enough pad. That could be the pad wear indicator pushing against the rotor and causing your squeel.
