Default New Rotors and Pads

Well my brakes started to squeak so I figured now would be a good time to upgrade to a set of slotted and drilled rotors and some carbon metallic brake pads. I called American Motorsports and the local parts places for a set. The only ones who said they could get a set was Napa and AM. But the wanted 150-200 buck for each rotor. After buying the tires I don't have that kind of money so I checked good ol eBay. I found a set of four for $315. But I was concerned about the quality of an eBay brand so I did some research. They are made by an MA company called DRT the has been around awhile. I checked some car forum reviews of them and they seems like they are happy with the quality so I bought them. I already have the break pads. I hope they are a good product. One day I would like to get a big break kit or do the Z06 conversion.

I hope they do. They will be here Wednesday but I will not be able to put them on until this weekend. I did notice an improvement in braking when I went from 55 series tires to 45's.
