New brakes.
Replaced the pads on the rotors on the car today. Had it in the shop and the stealership told me they wanted $800 for just the fronts. I said get bent. I went with the Powerstop Z26 rotors and pads. I bought all 4 on a black Friday special from summit racing for $400 for all four with pads, they also had a promo code for an extra $25 off. Went to check out with paypal and didn't realize I had a balance sitting there from a year ago for over $360. Figure I saved myself over $1500 for all four. Took me half the day but was worth it. I think they look really good too. I ended up paying out of pocket $13 for these bad boys.

Looks great. Should have weighed them before install. I bet you saved a bit of weight to on the new set up.

I find it personally rewarding when I do my own work and save a ton of money. Yesterday I had my 2014 on the lift for an oil change. Must have spent an hour looking things over, cleaning/inspecting before I finally got to the oil.
Your choice of rotors look great!
