New Brakes installed! Since I wanted to switch over to chromed wheels, from my silver 10-spokes, I decided to swap out my warped OE brakes for a drilled and slotted set. I got the kit from Mike at Rotors Online and it came with everything including the braided lines. My husband helped out with the heavy lifting, but I wanted to do the work. It wasn't to bad. Here are some simple shots he took of the work. Next up are suspension parts and then autocross. 
They look great other than being on backwards, which direction do the cooling vanes sit?
I had to do the same swap not too long ago for the same reason. I wasn't exactly going for better braking, but I thought I might as well upgrade the aesthetics while I'm at it. And anything is better than warped rotors. Did you have to take a metal brush and grind down on the hub at all to slide the new one's on? Mine was a pita.

I can attest to his powder coating skills. He did a set of front calipers for me in his custom NBM powder and they came out mint. I will post some pics later, I havent taken any yet.
Thanks Jim. I just did another set in NBM this week actually on my caliper exchange program. Just waiting for new seals and boots to come in at the dealer and i'll be shipping them to the customer.
