I was running "Evelotion" pads, but I figured the Bendix were better although the others were ceramic.

I didn't even know for a fact the brakes were going. The rotors didn't warp, there is a little bit of grinding, but very little. Another first, usually bad brakes make the steering wheel shake like a mofo when stopping

So it's off the the powder coating shop to get the centers powder coated and then on the car.

When I go back to the shop, I just have to pay $2 for the sticker. The car passed everything else, including emissions

At least you passed the "difficult" part. I'm sweating out this next emissions test here, though. Got a ton of new mods that are questionable.

How do they do the test on the brakes?
