Zen,
how long did they take to install? I am doing mine today and only have like a 2 hour window at most. you remember what size the bolts on the back of the calipers were?

I think the longest time is going to be spent replacing a wheel stud.

Just drive around for awhile trying not to brake too hard for any reason. Even on the highway, apply pressure smoothly and after a bit of driving like that, they should get better. If they are REAL bad... then replacement is an order.
Given the name of this thread... it might be a good thread to compare different cross drilled and slotted rotors. Has anyone purchased a set that kick @ss rotors that don't warp after heavy 80+mph braking? I know the stock rotors seemed to brake incredibly well with little to no warping at all.
Just curious.

I have troubles with this too after hard braking... the $260 package I got off ebay wasn't the greatest but they sure as hell stop.... and sound cool doing it. The cross drills make my brakes sound like crickets when I get on them.
