Well I finally got my rotors installed. I went in for a brake job and wound up changing out all 4 rotors.


my stock rotors after 42k miles . There was not enough left to resurface so I bought the slotted rotors from CED.

After install

With the wheel on.

Let see if I can grind these down like I did the stock ones

Haven't noticed yet, feels the same to me. I'm sure there'll be someone out there who'll make me test the stopping power.

the tires make a bigger diff in stopping than the brakes. you'll only really notice if they fade less, which prolly won't happen with the balt brakes.

maybe they'll last longer.

that's almost worth it alone. i've like like 21k and my rotors are toast, already been cut once.

if the dealer won't regrind/replace them, i'm going this route.

have you got any photos of how well they've held up? also, what pads you using? i'm thinking the stock ones are probably super hard, which is why the rotors burn up.
