Hello every one over the past month since my first post I have been through some shenanigans with Brake Planet and trying to get some decent brakes. For those of you have have visited their site recently will notice that it is nonexistent. Mean while their rotors and pads are still sitting in my garage.

Since then I have purchased a set of Power Slot rotors and Akebono pads from the Tire Rack down the street. ( corporate headquarters is a cool place I love going there ) The cost for the parts are as follows:
Front rotors:203.00
Rear Rotors:163.00
Front Pads: 62.00
Rear Pads: 59.00
Brake kit: 16.00

Over all I am pleased with the outcome and glad its over they look great and the bite well. I have not put them through any stress yet seeming they are within a 500 mile break in period I am giving them. And a mentionable note is the low brake dust. I have not washed the car in two weeks and not a speck of brake dust is visible.

I have some pictures here to show the before and after, and a side by side of the low quality and great quality brakes. A picture is worth a thousand words. Enjoy.
