Pockets, You need to do something with those ugly calipers....Very nice rotors. You can save a boatload of money doing your own mechanical work.

He did.
He hid them behind those shiny wheels.
(Same thing I do with my ugly calipers.)

I ws thinking the same thing Dave.

But then I got ugly calipers too.

My neighbor and I did the pads and rotors on my Camry and it saved me a ton of money. The best part is that I got to really clean the wells out and better yet I knew the job was done right!

Nice job Pockets!

Nice! I just bought dimpled, slotted rotors and ceramic pads for my Jaguar. Maybe you and your dad could come to Texas and install them for me?

I like the dark finish on yours, they look good with the wheel on.

You guys embarrassed me enough.

So I just keep hose en down then spay some BnB in em at the end.

Nice wells now.

Just make sure they stayed "trued" up meaning if you ever feel any slight warpage while driving, I would get them turned right away. We nickname them "cheesgraters" because when the begin to warp they will really eat away at your pads. ON the brighter side, they won't warp as fast as the regular rotors because they are vented and have less chance of heating up as fast.

Looks good!!

I feel so much safer now

You should feel safer Steve!! You can tell by the excessive amount of brake dust(cheesegrate effect)on the rims that they are warped, thereby wearing. Heck that is better than sensors!! that you only hear at times and then its usually too late!!!

Very nice!

1 1/2 hours though, your a slowpoke
