Default Slotted and crossdrilled rotors installed

I got them from a company called brake performance, off of the internet look and feel exactly like factory rotors except are slotted and crossdrilled and were much cheaper than the name brands such as power slot and brembo. They also come with a life time warranty i love them so far, installed them myself with a friend no lights came on very simple to do did all 4 in about an hour and a half with new pads and spacers put on, no squeaks stops on a dime! I tested them well see all of the dust on my wheel, that should subside some after there all the way broke in and the rotor is smoothed out

It's not so much the dust from the rotors, but more from the pads.

plus with the 22's AND a BBK you will lose some significant hp from all of the increased unsprung weight. I am sure the huge 22's are doing more to decrease whp than a BBK would but together it would definetley make the car feel sluggish off the line

I got the same brakes and rotors except dimpled and slotted, I heard to many stories about fully drilled rotors. I ended up going with Akebono brakes pads because of the low dust and great reviews. I must say my car stops on a dime now and has almost no brake dust or noise. Brake performance had the rotors to me super fast and they came with free semi metalic pads.

I have no complaints so far, would definitely recommend them to all, i have no noise and very little dust from the hawk pads that mind you cost almost as much as the rotors!!!
