            Tough to say. They should help with fade, but the feel and stopping distance is about the same. It's hard to tell now though since the pads/rotors still have to be broken in.

              It sure was a fun time had by all. We also only had to make one trip to the hardware store to buy a C clamp for the from calipers... it would have made Simon to proud to see our getto work All said and done it really wasn't all that hard to do other then the craptastic job or rotating and pressing the rear pistons in but we soon figured out the best way to do that. Now I do think I didn't leave and bolts loose

                  Hey, do these things surface rust like our stock rotors do? Cause that kinda pisses me off/worries me

                    I dunno Nick, they come coated plus the hubs are coated in high-temp black paint, so I think they're better off than the stock rotors. But I guess only time will tell

                          Looking good Derick, seemed to be a nice little mod afternoon, too bad I did have to bail early (lame High School Reunion) but thanks for the pizza, and to SImon L for the new shift knob and boot I love it!!!
