those are waaayyy overpriced. they want 200 for Two rotors. www.raceconcepts.com will sell you Four slotted rotors for that much. You can get two slotted brembo rotors for 100.

All I can say is... you should've asked this question BEFORE you bought it. Kinda too late now. Hope everything works out for you.

Its the pads. Buy some stock pads, they will work just as good as the aftermarket pads minus the initial bite but w/no squeal.

considering i dont have $$ 2 blow and the fact that anything is better than the stock its better than gettin the rotors cut right???

thanks

Yeah, I like mine too.... Even the squeal from the HAWK pads beats the warping OEM rotors!!!!

Tire Rack will charge you about $10 less for the rotors and pads, but you will go through those savings when they charge you $29 to ship it. Customaxima only charges about $13 (to NJ anyway).

whats the difference in the CM rotors and the tirerack rotors........ are they brembo OEM blanks. i mean sometimes CM can suck but rotors are something that helps you stop the car meaning your life is on the line if they sell BS rotors so i doubt that the rotors would suck or am i wrong???

Custommaxima either rips you off on the product price or the shipping price. Then their customer service is one of the worst. I wouldn't spend money w/them...

Must be nice. I live on the other side of the country, so my version of CM service is a bit different. Decent selection, but customer service sucks *****. Try getting the wrong exhaust sent to you then getting blown off for 4 months, go on deployment and when you come back get told it's been too long ago. Great, just what I needed, a 4th gen SP exhaust for my 2k. I don't know what I'd do if SWAutoworks hadn't come about.

I got my powerslot rotors from tirerack, and I can't complain. It was delivered in a day, even though I got 2day UPS shipping.

Powerslots are surely a bang for your buck. I will always recommend getting them from tirerack whenever needed. They have gotten me out some really tight situations!!
