Do you have it on stock rotors? I ordered them with the sport slotted rotors and is it only loud on start up? I was told after they warm up you dont hear them:s Did I make a mistake???

Do we have anyone running Gunmetal rims on a VR here? I'm sure we do, I am just too lazy to search through 200 pages of thread to see.
I am thinking about painting my stock rims, because I'm a broke high school/college kid, and was deciding what color to go with. I feel like every modded import car has black rims on it right now, but I feel like gunmetal might be enough of a contrast to make it stand out a little more.

[quote=Mazda_RX804;3892594]Do they stop well? I heard the braking power from the pads are really good and much much less brake dust.
initial brake in dust is real bad but is to be expected. I have no dust now and they have saved me from a near deer attack(In western new york, you dont hit deer...they hit you
) just dont like the squeal that i still get from after putting over 1k miles on them(drove from montana to new york and back to montana)...but like i said before it is only for about 5 min into the drive....just sucks when you gotta stop 20 times in that 5 minutes and your breaks squeal everytime

Damn that's a lot of meat for a tire. From experience I can tell you when I had 275s there was a lot of rolling resistance and weight from way larger tires that slowed the car down. Unless you have some serious increase in torque. 
Sure does look good though. You plan on lowering hoss?
