Are you gonna change the pads and rotors, or just pads?

PaPaBear

what exactly did you buy? This post fails without a description.

the brakes are from centric and the pads are some high end pep boys stuff (raybestas?) i paid 150 for the brake rotors and to have them installed with new pads costs 180...no pics yet cuz im at work...the rotors are drilled and slotted...i have a personal mechanic that wants me to keep a close eye on them...they work great and feel alot better than stock...

Man... I have a fear of buying cross-drilled rotors...

The last set I bought, they were actually an Ebay set.. I think it might have been for my 240 or my Civic, I can't remember. But even though the stopping power was great, those cross-drilled holes acted like a cheesegrater and just tore into my pads...

Just dont try to do anything extreme with them they break in half on most track guys.

My ebay experiance with cross drilled rotors is not good. They definately looked nice and even performed nice at first , but my rotors eventually became slick (almost like the pads burned them) and the pads would no longer bite into the rotors. I took them off as I was instructed by my mechanic and took off the shiney/slick surface with a wire wheel. I put them back on the car and they worked fine for a short time, but again became slick. Obviously mine were made with inferior metals. I hope you have better luck, but a good rule of thumb is you get what you pay for.
