Re: Need better braking power?

Actually, the pads wore down to bare metal first, and then progressively wore through the rotor so much that it started breaking off pieces...

Almost all of the pads were gone! he knew about it a few weeks ago, and we finally found an open day to get everything done on the car...


BTW, Rishi, how is it driving now?

I'd say the best of both worlds. Cutting edge in lightweight-heat-dissipating technology.

Honestly Greg, I haven't had fun driving my car in such a long time- can't even recall the last time... And driving back with the stock exhaust (being able to actually hear the engine), not having to worry about the bumper flying all over the place and the quiet brakes... it was awesome. It had really been so long, and now I've fallen in love with my car all over again. A million thanks- I even had my friend do a quick exterior detail to celebrate. You're the best.
