Really good. Going to have some 315's fitted but most likely putting 285's on.

Well update. The rims I have need -25 backspacing to work with 315's. They looked just perfect on there despite some rubbing on the idler arm at full turn. So ordering those Monday.

They came with the kit. German with internal tanks. They actually are pretty nice. They look like they're solid. They are nice to be included in a kit. On an unrelated note how are those rotors holding up and what brand are they.

Ah crap I can't remember. It was like 400 for 4 rotors and pads. I'll check my receipts. π

Nice. Yea if you could check your receipts for the brand name I would appreciate it.

Here's the company I got them from. They've been on there awhile. I wasn't to happy with the pads so I switched to a green ebc pad and now they're awesome.

Slotted rotors are ok, but drilled rotors are not such a great idea. The point is when pads out-gas, the gas doesn't build up between the rotor and pad and cause a 'hydroplaning' effect. Slotting and drilling are therefor redundant. Drilled rotors also suffer from a tendency to crack at the drill holes. Both slotting and drilling reduce the weight and therefore the thermal effectiveness of the rotor. The more metal removed, the less heat can be absorbed by the rotor. Since rotors are basically giant heat sinks, this is not such a good thing. Removing metal from a rotor is always a bad idea so there's no point in doubling down. Drilled rotors - much more so than slotted - allow crud to get between the pad and rotor. Water, mud, sand, etc. Depending on where you live and how you use your vehicle YMMV. For off road use drilled rotors are strongly discouraged. Drilling and slotting remove surface area of the rotor which is also a bad thing. Bad for two reasons. Removing contact area between the pad and rotor means less energy is converted to heat via friction. Decreased braking. Removing contact area also means less heat is transferred from the pad to the rotor. Decreased pad lifespan. Calipers are not designed to work like rotors - they are not heat sinks or radiators, they can be overheated resulting in decreased life span of the caliper and overheating or 'boiling' the brake fluid. Again, there's no reason to double down a bad idea. Slotting serves a useful purpose but doesn't suffer from most of the issues of drilling so that is a possibly useful 'upgrade'. Drilling or drilling and slotting is just an all around bad idea. Edward

I haven't had any problems with them but you could most likely get just as good performance from OEM rotors. More surface area more grabbing from the padsπ
