I actually forgot about it but I got a great deal on a Meguiars detailing kit from Target the day after Christmas. Clearance item with 5 products and a microfiber for $15

Where did you order the rotors from. I've gotten quotes ranging from $150 to 180. I said I would also paint my calipers f sport blue too.

I got them from brakelabs on ebay. It was $249 for 4 rotors and 8 ceramic pads. Rotors are zinc coated and diamond slotted. Gonna install them later this week. Zinc coating supposedly causes squeeking the first few hundred miles.

Cause I have a 250. If I had a 350 with the bigger caliper up front the front rotor would be larger. Im just saying it would look much better lol
