Well i finished these a few days ago but ive been really busy and havent had a chance to take/post pics about them.

The hawk pads are amazing, with my grippy ass tires and these pads stopping is instant.

As far as the rotors i love how they look and they seem to be cooler, installing them was a b**** though. The front 2 rotors took FOREVER, after 2 days with a 2.5 sledge hammer i finally got the drivers side by removing the studs (safely) and prying it off. The passanger side i tried the bolt trick but it only caused the rotor to break apart right around the hole. I chiseled the rest off lol..i couldnt do the bolt trick on the drivers side because the stock screws had previously broke off and i needed to drill it out so there were no threads left.

Here are the finished pics and some of the install, let me know what you think.

looks great bud.

I could have got the pads cheaper than that for you due to having a wholesale account with them through a friends company called All-Aspects Motorsports.

how much cheaper?

because the guy was supposed to sell them to me for like 150 but he said he'd give me a deal, I know he's not just trying to butter me up because i talked to the guy that he buys them from before i talked to this guy.

Well if you can get them alot cheaper im sure selina would want a hook up as shes still rocking stock pads.

Lowest he can go on the pads for the tiburon are 112. He said he doesn't know when he can get them though. they are back order right now.

Mad: now for the BMW, what type do you want....do you want the performance ceramic, the HPS street composite or the HP Plus Autocross composite ones?
