So today I was able to get my R1 Rotors and Hawk HPS Pads installed. Took a little over an Hour and a Half form start to finish. I made sure to really heat up the pads once they were in to make sure i had no problems in the future with noise and to make sure they were Burnished well into the rotors. I actually could smell the pads and even saw a little amount of smoke. As of right now with the little bit i have driven i can definitely tell that it stops much quicker and the pedal definitely has a tougher and nicer feel to it. All in all I am very glad that I did this mod and I am much more confident with the breaking of the car now.

Here are some pictures:

Those rotors look GREAT. Adding this to my next round of mods. Regardless how much brake is left on my stock set-up. New rotors and pads. Thanks for the write-ups.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'm really thinking whenever I get around to doing my rims in black that these rotors will really pop

I have been thinking about something but I like the silver look actually. If I were to paint them I would go with a Silver Ice color. I really like the way silver calipers look behind black wheels. Plus I think if I were to do yellow it would be to much.

Also I went to go and find the paint and primer for my manifold in town and wasn't able to find anything I needed in town so I think i might just save up and go the powder coat route. Still thinking about it since I might do a ported manifold in the future
