Default Brakes Review

I just recently purchased a set of Rotoworks Drilled and Slotted rotors and a set of Hawk Performance Ceramic Pads. Took about 3-4 hours as I have never done a set of brakes in my life. All went very well and let me just say that the car stops on a dime now. I followed the break in period on the box of pads which called for 35mph moderate braking 6-10 times, then 45mph hard braking 3-4 times. The car brakes amazing. Only thing i was scared of was pushing the pistons back into the calliper all the way, but i had to do it anyway as my other pads were really low. Overall, its an easy install if you are somewhat mechanically inclined. could be a 1 person job, but i used a c clamp to push the pistons back into the calliper so i had help with that. I will update this thread in about a month just to state how they are holding up so far! thx for reading!
