[/QUOTE]i'd rather not release names of the company unless things go wrong. i know stock brembos are the best for performance. but these are just as good. the rotor size is the same except for the thickness... and pads just generate less dust. and tbh... the whole kit was only a lil bit more than OEM replacement, and i needed new rotors anyways, so i figured why not. i get dot4 fluid and SS lines... if i only knew this BS was going to happen tho. lol[/QUOTE]

Umm Dude things did go wrong! You got a **** kit with wrong parts that you cant even use etc.. Please name that company/seller so no one else gets duped we gotta protect each other.

FYI folks, Raybestos are generally very good with brake parts, Wangspeed is using Raybestos brake pads on the race track and likes them fine; I used Raybestos brake pads exclusively on Devons championship winning Firebirds , 3 years 3 consecutive championships, 97,98,99.

I purchased their LNF rotors last week put them on: no good. Already in very light braking showing some checking adjacent to the vent ribsn due to either machining or metal not good. I am sending them back to the Vendor and installing OEM Brembos. Price difference? 20 dollars more a rotor for the real thing. Cant recommend the Raybestos replacement rotor.

It happens.

That's pretty ignorant to call that a "stage 3" kit. You have aftermarket stock size rotors (which are slotted, which btw do not perform better than blanks), aftermarket pads you can buy at autozone and a different grade brake fluid.

stage 1 EBC however, I have to bite my tongue; I have seen so many folks come in with green stuff pads all crumbled to nothing

yeah you need to use a tech2 electronically bleed your abs or ebcm prob going to have to do it 2x seeing how it sounds you really got screwed over and messed some **** up after that do a regular bleed about 2x and as long as everything is good and back to normal with a good sealed braking system you should be good to go

I got fucked by this vendor too! I made a bad review in the vendor review section before I had the parts because they screwed up my order and it took over a month for them to fix it...
