New brakes on!
I've had these brakes sitting in my garage for about a month now, but between work and vacation, I haven't had a chance to put them on yet.
Until yesterday.
They are drilled and slotted, with carbon fiber brake pads. I just painted the rotors fully with high temp caliper paint and let the pads strip off the paint where they touch. The pads came in their red colour, and I painted the calipers with high temp caliper paint and then high temp clear.
I haven't driven them enough to break them in yet but I have felt a bit of a stronger force when braking.
I think the outcome is pretty good.
First pic = fresh install w/ paint still on rotor
Second Pic = after ~50 km
