Best price around. Got mine a few weeks ago and waiting to put them on with my powdercoated Brembos, braided lines, and complete flush with Motul 600.

The "normal" Brembo squeal got much worse. It squeals every time I brake, and also I felt the car doesn't stop like before. Turns out 3 out of 4 of them are at the minimum.

Make sure to get your rotors turned. They told me my rotors had some blue streaks in them and would not turn them as they said they had gotten hot and the metal got harder. I went with Hawks and at first they sqealed all the time. I did 60mph to 20mph ten times in a row then drove 20 minutes highway to cool them down.

They still sqeal some but not like before the bedding. I can see where they are leveling out the rotors. Early on the pads did not cover the entire rotor with the bedding but now almost the entire rotor is covered front and back. They did roughen up the rotors some but nothing like being turned.

Absolutely! Have the rotors turned. Will yield better performance and give your new pads a chance to bed much more easily.
