All 4 pads looked like that cracked one by the way. The last couple weeks before I changed the pads were dicey.. They definately felt a little weak. The rotors themselves had no real visible damage.
I decided to put the powerslots in anyway because A) They were a special order and I couldn't return them anyway (
) And most importantly, B) because it was mentioned repeatedly in my performance buildup thread that I should upgrade the brakes before I increase the power of the car given my driving habits from living in NY.
I'll admit it, I'm an aggressive driver. Its a product of my environment and my own habits.
Anywho, back on topic: I'd reccomend these rotors to anyone who needs to change. The combination of the pads and powerslots makes for a smooth, quick stop.

I'll bet it stops a lot smoother.. One of those pads looks like it was showing signs of slight rotor warp

Good thing you got them changed, IMO.

If you outdrive the new setup.. they will react in a similar manner.
