they are also installing the carbotech bobcat pads for me. i can't wait to try them out.

I am so happy the dealer now has wireless. Give one the oportunity to work or just goof off while waiting.

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Default With stock rotors?

Make sure to get some heat into those pads on the way home. I mean, enough heat that the pad starts to stop working. You'll slow down, but no where near what you should be. That's good. You need that heat to bed in the pad and get a nice film on the rotor. Then lay OFF the brakes and let them cool for at least 30 minutes. Your going to like 'em.

Stock rotors? Stock lines?

Default I like them so far! the tech that did the work took the car out for a spin.

he went ahead and did the break-in per the carbotech directions.

he liked them too.

after he came back, we talked for awhile and gave the pads plenty of time to cool.
