It's only a matter of time until you get the bling wheels, it's an underlying urge that you are suppressing, don't fight it, let it out, set your spirit free :D

Well the new slotted disks and pads are fitted. $695 buck total completely fitted by my mechanic.
Just a word of warning for any potential purchasers, as soon a th pads and discs were fitted and a test drive was done it felt like the discs were warped. The shudder almost shook the car off the road, however after about 3 minutes of bedding them in the shudder went away completely. All is good so far, am looking at taking up the Burrows Drive Day on the 11th May to give them a proper run.

Will keep you informed as time goes on, but so far all is great.

I hope the rotors are all they are cracked up to be. I spent more than that on my pads (Except it was all 4 corners).

Cheers,
Hymee.

No I kept the stock calipers, did not see the point in upgrading those yet.

All is great so far, some spirited driving with heavy braking and no fading from the brakes.
