Received everything in a very timely manner, and all parts are great as described. Just an FYI to those who have never tried new zinc blank rotors: The coating which comes into contact with the pads will wear off almost immediately. During that time, the coating tends to clump together in random spots before fully burning off. You will hear and feel some roughness initially. DO NOT PANIC. Perform a few more moderate/hard stops from 50mph to 5mph every 1/2 mile or so and it will smoothen out. I did two cars this weekend and both reacted like this. The brakes so far work excellent! Thanks again!!

Please PM me a price for just C5 front rotor and pad. I might order an extra set of front pad for F-body. Also like to know the difference between two pads. Which one for street use?

I received my fronts around noonish Saturday before leaving for work at 2pm and when i got home the rears were sitting on the door step for me. not sure why Fedex made 2 trips but Im very happy with the quality and service. Jim and brakemotive were great to deal with!

Z16 Evolution Ceramic is a good dust free, quiet, performance street pad. They are a little more aggressive than the factory pads but still give all the benefits of a ceramic.
The PM18 is an entry level street performance pad, similar performance gains as the Z16 but they are metallic and can handle a bit more heat, but they also give off more dust.
PMing you in just a second.

Hey Jim, great product and great service. Only thing, I got the wrong size rotors for the rear. What do I need to do? I've never returned a product before, so this is new to me. Only reason why I'm writing to you on here instead of calling is because I keep getting that recording. So, if you could call me and let me know what I need to do, I would appreciate it. Thanks. My # is {318} 549-4918. And again, great product and great service.
