Sorry for the delay everyone, ive been very busy with work, wedding plans n such.

so ive been to 2 track days since the rotor upgrade and about 2k miles street driving and everything is holding up great, no issues at all, i dont know if you can consider it an issue or not but finding 12.9 hardware to put in place of the stock caliper bracket bolts was not easy. M10x1.25x45 flanged bolts are not easy to find.

The first track day was done on stock pads and i was pretty impressed. there is a very noticeable in stoping power and much less pedal effort to get the desired braking. after the frist track day my new pads finally arrived. stock replaced with hawk pads. second track day was even better with the new pads. it took a little getting used to braking so late for corners i found myself nearly stopping before i got to a corner off a high speed section. it now seems that i can hold off breaking 40ft or so closer to a corner than with the stock pads and rotors. overall this car just became alot more fun.
