WTF?? im likely going to end up biting the bullet and going with power slot rotors and hawk hps pads, i can order em from steeda and likely have em in a week... kinda blows mind you. any thoughts on this??Power slots worked great for me , I have them on for over 2 years now , used them on the track also and I only have good things to say about them . I bought them from Overdrive here in Barrie for about $250 fronts and took them about 36 hours to get in my hands .Great braking , no warp . I don't know about Steeda.ca though , last year I ordered a strut tower bar , they said one week but it turned into about 16 days . As for pads I have on the second set of ceramic hybrids from Napa , called Adaptive One . Good for daily drive , great on track ,no fade when hot , actually the hotter the better , very low on dust . Their downside is pretty high price , $90 US when bought them in Chicago and $180 when got them here in Bradford . In cold weather don't bite like OEM's at first brake .
