Appearance
Grimmax! Long time no talk, looks like your @ it again, hooking that max up. Definitely, a great upgrade for the over-all appearance & suspension, very appealing. Keep us all posted with your next mod in the near future, an submit some more pics of a full angle of your ride. Looks like you've done some other mods since I've seen it last on C/D. Later........

I also wanted to ask you, Is there something that I can use to clean them? Cause they arent shining like they were before the pads touched them.
Yours look mega shiny!! lol
(That didnt sound right.. But you know what I mean!! lololol)

Dang, at first I thought the red looked cheesy but after seeing the close-up pic of the sweet metal flake it looks kinda nice. I still prefer the fully zinc coated, but still nice lookin' brother.

I got mine on ebay recently for 150$, guy added F/R ceramic pads for an extra $80. With ship I think it was like $240'ish to the door. For the price I couldn't be happier. Drilled/Slotted/Zinc'd.

Now I have a rant here, after reading all of that other long **** thread with Chern & Dues saying how happy they were, I also purchased this upgrade (with redstuff pads). I do not recall reading ANYTHING in that thread about how to break these in.
Now while at best this makes a minimal difference, I didn't do anything special for the first 500 miles. I wasn't out racing either, but just average around town driving. Am I at risk here?

I left them black because I like the black under side in the front. That vinyl part helps the eyelids stick out as long as I leave the black (Atleast thats what I figure).
Thanks brother

Sorry for the late reply, my rotors actually got more shinny after break-in by the new EBC pads alone. I tend not to buff or polish rotors for fear of making them slip under heavy braking. Not good...

so what's the best way to get around the shimmy? because it's bugging the h@## out of me right now? is it the pads or rotors? I'm looking for new rotors but don't know what's the best kind to get for my 06 max! can you give a brotha a hand in this matter??
