HoustonHotRod · 02-23-2013, 01:11 PM

I'm happy with them. I can honestly say it was worth every penny. Sorry for the blurry pics.

RonniesCamaroSS · 02-23-2013, 01:55 PM

Those pics r they when u put them on or later? How bad do they look after a wash, stocks look like rust.

This is about a week after install. I will be installing stainless steel brakelines and painted calipers in a couple of days. So I think I will just paint the rotors then allow the pads to clear the rotors where the pads touch , leaving the the slots and dimples protected.

UF4LIFE102SS · 02-23-2013, 02:43 PM

So u never wet them? R they kryo treated?

HoustonHotRod · 02-23-2013, 03:06 PM

Yes I washed them , they are black-electro coated. I have noticed a little surface rust in the slots and dimples, that's why I am going to get some black VHT paint to coat where the pads meet the rotors.

UF4LIFE102SS · 02-23-2013, 03:19 PM

So didn't do any extras they offer? Why did u choose those pads?

HoustonHotRod · 02-23-2013, 03:24 PM

No options. Did some research and found that they were comparable to the Hawk HPS pads ,some say the are better, and they cost considerably less. Very little brake dust and the annoying squeal is gone.
