 brakes were easy install until i broke two bolts above the heat shield that needed to be drilled out. This is the season opener for me. Too bad the rear brake looks bigger than the front  time for new front brakes!

drilled/slotted are great for hard driving like a track or x cross but for daily driving they lack the surface area to the pads to give good daily stopping power. I had drilled rotors, maybe they weren't quality, I don't know, but they sucked. I switched to bembro blanks and the difference was clear. The drilled looked way better IMO but I didn't want to risk not being able to stop for looking good.
