I also didn't notice the mechanic not being able to use the clips you were refering to, everything was used. I broke them in for a couple of hours by driving around a parking lot and running some erands. By nightfall they got much quieter and after being easy on the all day, I wanted to give them a slight test. When braking with some good pressure, you can hear the noise from the crossdrills. Sounds cool. But I can definitely notice the difference in braking power. Too bad they are from Stillen but the aftermarket brakes and rotors are a great improvement.

thanks for following up.

its probably ok then, my brakes are working fine without them.. oooh, i like my brakes (slotted)!! its probably the combo of the slotted rotor and the metal matrix pads, but now i can stop/decelerate confidently when those stoopid drivers lane change at 55mph into 85mph traffic....
