New Brakes and Rotors!

Installed new Brakes and Rotors today!
Tired of having to wash the wheels every 3 days due to the brake dust from the original brakes. See how these preform.

They look cool. Time will tell how they perform. You mentioned tired of brake dust, are you now using ceramic pads? Where did you purchase the rotors and pads? Where they a suggested package?

I don't think these are ceramic. They are Posi Quiet pads which I guess they produce less dust, advertised that way anyway. I have used ceramic pads before on other vehicles and did not care for them. I know they produce less dust but seem to be harder on the rotors. These can't be any worse than the originals. I do like the way the rotors look though. Purchased on ebay from easyautomotive as a complete package with front & rear rotors and pads. Sorry for no link, not that savy with computers that way. Went on with no trouble or modifications necessary. I hope they perform well. Like you say, time will tell how they perform and see how much dust is created.

Well, it has been a week since the new brake rotors and pads were installed. Have not needed to wash the brake dust off due to lack of brake dust created with the new pads. I am very pleased with the preformance of these. Brakes feel stronger than stock ones did. Price was great too. I added a link if anybody is interested in them. They also have the Brembo rotors and pads for the ones that have them.
