And if you get that sticker wet it starts to peel and fall off like a cheap piece of *)*$# it is. What were they thinking?!?
thanks for proving to me what happened to my stickers

I think I have the street pads (that's what all the literature provided by stillen says). They do seem to get better with every stop-and brake dust doesn't seem to be too bad (300 miles and really need cleaning).

Rom , killer brake upgrade . The wheels are sweet too . What brake pads are you using ? I'm working with Steve to get the Rotora kit with the matching rear rotors.

i forgot what pads i am using, but it's definitely the racing version for the ap racing brakes. it's funny, when the brakes are cold, it doesn't really grip that well, but once it's heated, it really freaking grips like no tomorrow but the brake dust is killing me though

the wheels are ok looking forward for some better ones though

Unless Stillen has changed their pads in this kit, it SHOULD be a Pagid RS 4-2-1....great pad but like you said, sucks when it's cold and they dust like crazy....
