Are those just rotors or calipers too?

When you get a chance can you post a picture of the rotors. That company quoted me a price for all four, just want to make sure it's the same ones. I think they said they were sport rotors.

Got em on today. I’ll see how I like em tomorrow. Did the bed in procedure, took a slow freeway drive for about 10 minutes and came back. I’ll definitely have to get used to the noise the slotted rotors make.

Look great @CKeeler, what pads are you using, they shouldn't be making noise. I've had slotted rotors before an they never made noise.

Yeah, I've had slotted rotors on multiple cars from different manufacturers...they sound the same as blanks. You may have an audible change because of the pads if the material is different (metallic or kevlar).

The noise is temporary, at least it was in my case. I heard it for the first few hundred miles, but now they are silent.

So far I only hear it when doing moderate braking, closer to stopping. Light braking they’re silent. @robz32 100 miles of driving or of stopping? 😂

Anyone notice how the rears don’t do much? After the bed in procedure, my bro in law and I noticed how the honing on the rears was barely touched.

The physics of weight transfer.

Yes the front brakes do most of the stopping

Yes, I know that. I was just surprised that after the bed in procedure they barely looked touched. I’ve driven cars that have a great bias setup and it feels like the back end squats down when you hit the brakes. The stinger is good, but not great in brake bias
