That is the freakin man. Do u by any chance experience any brake fade when ur driving hard on back roads? For me, without fail, every time i do it i get massive brake fade, luckily and some how the rotors haven't warped yet lol.

Never had a problem with brake fade. The only problem I do have is when I first start the car and its raining out. The brakes just dont want to grab until they get warmed up, but within 3 or 4 miles, they will work like normal, but thats normal on any type of rotor.

Ive got some Premium rotors waiting to be installed on the front. F-body calipers I first were garbage but the guy agreed to replace them and pay shipping both ways
