They should have the readings on the rotors somewhere. My car is at 113k and the rotors looks original. Definitely going to just replace them instead of resurfacing them.

Anyone had good reviews/experiences with Adam Rotors? or would you just recommend staying OEM Brembo?

Awesome. thanks. The 3rd link is the same as the 2nd btw. Im considering getting the adam rotors only because I want to switch it to slotted instead of drilled. It also looks cooler lol.

^^^^Sorry, I repaired the 3rd link - I screwed up. Read that link also. The slotted are also a more robust disk IMHO. The drilled can start to crack under heavy use at the track. There's a reason the RCF now has slotted rotors.

Was browsing on Amazon and the Stop Tech front pads are about $80/set? Seems ridiculously cheap.

Quick question guys, I recently had my rear brakes start squeaking when I'm lightly depressing (parking, etc), I replaced the pads today...cleaned everything and tested...but their still doing the same squeaking...do pads take time to break in or should they not squeak from the get go? Any thoughts on what else I should check? Thanks.

An update from my previous post about not getting the discount. Got in touch with Speed Freaks via a pm and he processed my order and discount right away when I placed the order on 3/9. I then got the normal "your order has been received" email which I deleted and then waited for a shipping confirmation email.

Fast forward to 4/1 and I thought it was odd that I had not gotten any confirmation yet. I messaged them again to make sure I didn't miss that something was backordered. They immediately replied, and apologized for the delay. They said that somehow my order got hung up in some kind of limbo where it was never sent to the next step to be packaged. I got shipping confirmation the next day and everything arrived shortly thereafter.

Got the pads/rotors put on yesterday and did the proper bedding process. Drove on the highway for a little longer to cool them back down and then parked her. So I don't really have a review for the brakes yet, but I will.

Just want to thank Speed Freaks for being a site sponsor and for all of their help. Things happen and the delay was not a big deal at all. Don't hesitate to use them for your F's needs.

They are going to squeak with light pressure brake pedal. Just how it is, it's perfectly normal...... now if you hear squeaking coming to a hard stop or a long one where you ride the brakes then yeah theres something wrong. Brakes might not have been properly bedded or rocks could stuck or even just dirty.
