Last week I finished the install of my new brakes on the car. I really like them so far and am looking forward to putting a few miles on them and seeing how well they perform on the autocross course. They felt very nice after the bedding process.. pedal feel is great..
I had an issue with the right front Brembo rotor coming to me bent - so very slightly 0.0035 runout for about 3-4 inches of the rotor's circumference , but that was enough for some pretty severe brake judder. Rockauto was quick to stand up and send me a new one and took the return of the defective part with return shipping included. With the new rotor on all the judder went away.
