New pads and rotors! Centric premium high carbon rotors with Posi-quiet pads! I love the aesthetics of the rotors as they have black painted hats and fins to fight rust and corrosion!

Some removable threadlocker to prevent bolts that hold the caliper onto the knuckle from coming out

Dirty guide pins all cleaned up

All lubed up with silicone grease (important since petroleum based greases will degrade the boots that protect the guide pins

Anti-seize applied to hubs before mounting rotor. Went a little overboard

Looking tight

Rotors and pads combo has good bite, perfect for daily driving. Makes absolutely no noise. As my buddy Loong suggested, make sure you bed your brakes!

Also, i wiped the new rotors with brake clean (degreaser will do as well). The reason for this is to remove the thin layer of oil that manufacturers apply to the rotors to prevent rusting. The oil and pads do not go well together!

Finished up my diamond stitched Clazzio interior: Front and rear seats, head rests, arm rests, door panels, insert for rear seat, seat belt pads. Also installed my Luxury Abstract pillar covers and added my Artisan emblem.

seats look great, but on the pillar stitching I would have cut it about an inch shorter to keep the window trim continuous. just my .02

They are meant to go under OEM window visors, so I'll have to see about getting those instead of these weathertechs.

Make sure to double up on the double sided tape right up to the pillar. Stack it like so it's 2 layers of tape (one on top of the other) except over the pillars. Creates like a step. That will make up for the depth difference of the pillar and ensures that the visors fit snug without a gap!
I'd be tempted to carry the diamond stitch theme into the trunk and maybe even under the hood if you could find a heat proof leather like material to diamond stitch.
Looking good!

Thanks man. No I haven't. I just air out when I park. I raise it when I drive. Well that be a issue if I dont?
