Just bought this baby

I'm a newbie but I know a sweet car when I see one. I flew up to Long Island and bought a nice 03 CLS6 with 87k on it for $7500. Just got back and I had quite the 14 hour trip back home to get to meet my new baby. I am going to need some new brakes and rotors and I'm thinking about going through Brake Motive. I can get cross drilled and slotted rotors with graphite pads for $179 out the door and I planned on installing them myself. The car is lowered with Tien springs and it's got chrome TL rims that are in great shape. I can't figure out how to post pics on here. Thanks guys and I look forward to chatting with you.

Good looking car dude! Pretty good deal I might add. Those wheels are a nice bonus and in the future, if you wanted to you could run the RL big brakes with them. I decided to after getting frusturated from warping set after set of the stock sized rotors, even slotted and all that b.s

Hey welcome brokslouky! And congrats on the nice find!

Sorry I can't answer on the RL brake question, but I'm sure someone will chime in! I just went with new rotors and pads (Rotora) but am thinking about doing the RL's next time.
