Just Ordered STILLEN cross-drilled rotors YAY!!!
I'm so happy, I just ordered my stillen cross-drilled rotors. I was going to upgrade the front anyway, and the back was warped so these seemed like the best value. Today was also the last day that they were giving away the METAL MATRIX for free when you bought the rotors, so I got all four rotors and all four pads for under $400 shipped. That is about the same price as if you would take it to the dealer and had them do it for you.
I know I should have got the stainless brake lines as well, but I'm on a budget and need to save money for insurance. Anyone have any tips for installing them so they don't squeak? I am doing them myself, with the help of a friend who is going to school to be a mechanic.
Thanks,
Dan

Well, at least you paid only half of what I paid for them a few years ago.
Once they warp or get scored, it will be harder to resurface them since they are cross drilled.
Maybe slotted might be easier to resurface if the need ever arises. Well, I guess slotted removes glazing and contamination more than cross drilled types.
At least you got a decent deal from $tillen.

Your gonna love those brakes. I just did my car about 6 weeks ago. They stop great and look great. You can't go wrong for 400 bucks. Paint your calipers for a completely finished look.

Wow, looks great. I got the Brembo rotors in the front right now and the stock in the rear. That pic is enough to convince to get the Stillen rotors for the front and rear.
Btw, where did you guys get the rotors from? Who sell them the cheapest?

how did you paint your calipers, did you remove them or just tape off everything else?
Do your brakes squeak at all?
Thanks,
