don't do it. If anything, you should get Ceramic brake pads and with slots and drilled, they make a lot of noise so slot is better.

^ Get the rotors and pads from our vendor Excelerate or Heeltoe. They both sell great rotors and pads.

Oh and stay away from the Axxis Ultimates. They suck, and produce the single largest amount of brake dust i have ever seen a pad make.

thanks guys.

pepboys replaced my front brakes+rotors for free on monday cuz they came with a 2 yr warranty so im leaving the front brakes alone 4 now.
They warp every couple of months ... so when the warranty expires i'll look into this again.
I want to eliminate this issue once and for all but dont know what the source of the problemm really is...

Rotors?
calipers?
Both?

some people say that the legend caliper swap is only cosmetic and makes no diff. and i definitely dont want to spend $200 on calipers that will not solve the warping issue


anyone have any feedback on their legend caliper swap???

I know, i took them off within 10k miles (not that there was much left) they hated to be heated, had considerable brake fade after getting warm (not to be confused with hot) and the dust was like a coal factory.. One lapping day i made 2 laps before they gave me NO braking. The green stuffs will work even when the rotors are glowing red with less fade than the ultimates with hot rotors
