X-Drill Rotors installed
I had BBQ at my house and invited ALFAV6 and BigMonkey over for a minimeet, plus rotors install. Later on bdimc2001 stopped by as well. I had a great time. Here are the pics: The heavy modded Celica is Bigmonkey's ride.

What brand rotors you used? I am looking at comptech X-Drilled but I am also looking for alternatives.
Anyone one used Hawk Pads? Looking for something with more bite. Don't like the metal masters cuz of the squeak and they are harsh on rotors.

There are four bolts to loosen in the back to take off the caliper and two screws that needed the impact screwdriver to take off the rotor. I believe they are 14mm and 17mm for the calipers bolts.

Paul, they were 90 shipped from RaceConcepts. That's for set of front and rear pads.
