New rotors
Bought new rotors from TPS Motorsports about a month ago. Just installed them this week. Took a few pics while the car is on jack stands to clean underneath.

THey look great! Has your braking distance decreased?
|
Don't know. Haven't driven the car since the rotors were installed. Put the car on jack stands to wash underneath and install rotors. Probably be another week or so before I drive the car.

I bought rotors similar to yours & Hawk pads. I haven't installed them yet though.

Looks nice ! I just went the NAPA cheepie route...$145. for rotors and metallic pads.Got me through two HPDE weekends and rotors still good enough for back-up. Pads were toast...never to do over one weekend on a set again. BTW...How you been ?

Decided to give these a try. Never used slotted before. Plan to see if the old rotors can be turned so I will have a spare set.Been doing okay. As long as I'm looking down and not up I will not complain. Hope you and the better half are doing okay.I haven't decided what events I plan to attend at VIR, but will let you know in case you want to go.

Be prepared for massive amounts of dust as the anodizing wears off. :yesnod:

Nice upgrade, will look nice once their broke in. :thumbs:
|
Thanks for taking the time to comment. Still deciding if I want to paint the center RED as I did the old ones. A hard day at the track really burns the devil out of the paint.

No pics yet.Will probably be a few weeks before I have the car back on the road. Have decided to try the red covers and see what they look like and how they function.Will take pics once I have all the parts.
