Default gxp brake replacement

anyone running the power stop z26? my front rotors are trashed and that seems like a decent deal through summit... always a little worried since alot of companies dont seem to get theres a differences between the gtp and gxp stuff.

well rock auto actually had the best price, the one on summit was only for base grand prix.

hope to get them put on this weekend.

i havent taken it apart yet, but anyone know why the back of my rotor would feel like an oversize record?

well records are actually bigger i think :p but just dirt inbetween the pad and the rotor can cause grooving like that.

both rotors had some pretty big groves on the inside. but i did find out my loud squeak wasnt that, it was part of a bracket touching the rotor.

will say the new brakes work great, but i do think the factory rotors look a little meaner than the powerstop. the factory has 3 times as many cross drilled holes.
