Box the drilled rotors up and send them back. While your at it, get rid of that 25mm rear sway bar. It will do it's best to get you hurt on a track. It is TOO MUCH bar for the rear of these cars. A cheap (relative I know) track day isn't cheap if you bend the car.

Drilled rotors are prone to cracking, and leave less surface area for heat diffusion after hard breaking. I think they might also shorten the life of the pads, but I'm not sure on that one.

I really hope you didn't order all that stuff + stock shocks? Call up strano and get the right suspension stuff for your car.

On an actual track, there is a good chance that you'll crack those rotors. And, the "cheese grater effect" will often grind through brake pads at a rapid rate.

The 25mm rear sway bar will make the car very loose (tail happy) and greatly increase your chances of spinning it or losing the rear end and hitting another car, a wall, or doing chassis damage while driving it offroad (and usually sideways). I'd not use that bar for anything, but surely not for a track day.

Seeing as how he went ahead and ordered useless stuff against your and people with good reasons to avoid such things advice, I would imagine that little tidbit fell on deaf ears. Like it usually does around here. I don't see how you guys keep it up, I guess it's for the few that do listen I imagine.

Then WTF is the point of them? I just finished taking a brake and suspension automotive course. The drilled discs are for quicker cooling and the slots are for brake dust and gases to vent off easier.

Well I know that swaybars reduce body roll, which is what I want. But since I am getting negative replies for the rear swaybar, I just wont install it. No big deal. It came with a set.

Pffft I get paid 7.25 an hour and go to school full time, so I dont work that many hours. I just saved for a long time and got lucky with Christmas money.

Like some people mentioned to forget the rear sway bar and and the drilled rotors. Ill try and swap em to OEM rotors and just not install the rear bar and hopefully het shocks in time.

Nope, they don't cool any better. Rotors are big heatsinks, the more mass you take away from them the worse they cool. Slots "may" help to wipe the pad surface, but they really eat pads as do drill holes. Also, new pads don't "outgass" like they did years ago. So, venting gases away doesn't apply, unless your pads are race pads that are 50ish years old.
