Results are NOT what I expected. Went on a 3 hour ride to a park, spend a half a day there and drive back 3 hours. Took off a tire to check out a rotor and it was puple/bluesh color. This tells me it most likely got to hot. Thou these rotors it did work without any front end shimmy. I don't think they should have gotten that hot to change colors in a three hour drive, 100 miles of this drive was highway miles.... like no braking to speak of. In any case, I call NAPA and told them if I have any front end shimmy from these rotors and pads I will be bringing both rotors and pads back for a refund and then who knows what I will do for quailty rotors and pads.
Just wanted to update you all and thank you all for replying.
Luke.

I paid 70 a set for OE style rotors from napa. The pads i got (mid level as well i believe) are somewhat dissapointing. They dust WAY too much, don't fit quite like i'd like, and make noise when at a medium operating temp. Stop just fine, but still...
What about a loctite thread lock on wheel lugs?
