Here's a better shot of my new Diamond Slotted rotors installed:



They are beautiful and the new Street Plus Pads bite well - however, there is a strict break-in period for the first 100-200 miles. During that time you must brake gently and not for extended periods of time. This is to ensure the plating wears off evenly and the pads break in properly. According to the instructions, failure to do the break-in properly can result in chattering or squealing....so make sure you break them in right.

I'm still doing the break-in on mine, but can already feel increased bite.

I'll post an update later after they are fully broken-in...

I've got the Street Plus pads also. The difference with them and the stock pads that came with the car is SIGNIFICANT in my car. Unfortunately, I've got a mild squeal on my passenger side. Another trade-off is the new pads are REALLY nasty in the dust department. Love the brakin' though.
