Bit- Another post said that the TRD pads dust more than the stock pads. That may be a reason, and a reason I am considering doing the same.
Perhaps we should get Hawk to do some pads for the GS?

...But Steve said, "TRD’s Performance Brake Pads is that they provide greater resistance to heat-related fade – experienced under severe braking conditions. Additionally, TRD’s pads offer reduced pedal vibration, increased pedal feel, minimum rotor wear, and silent operation. "
And now I think giving up dust-free pads for ALL THAT is worth it, don't you? I just wonder exactly "how much" dust they create under normal driving conditions.... maybe someone could show a pic of their wheels after normal driving for a 2 weeks (without washing the car or the wheel for that whole week ofcourse)

i was considering the EDC "green stuff" i believe it called, or even metal master that i used on my bimmer works wonders with cross drill and price is fair for the performance end of it.

the only reason i didn't get steve's set is because i wanted cross drilled, not slotted rotors..I'm waiting on my ebc pads and rotors! Lowest price I got to instal was $120 for 4 pads and 4 rotors..Parthenia and Reseda....anyone know a cheaper place?

There're only 8 screws to un-bolt for the installation after you remove all wheels

I heard the hardest part is to install the brake lines. Is that true?

I ordered these from Steve and I should have them by the end of this week, going on next week. As soon as I break them in, I will let you know what I think of them coupled with my new Dunlop SP5000's to be installed...
