I will give you a heads up that I ordered a set from them and they made a weird whirling noise when I would brake. I called them and they said the noise would go away. After 3 months of listening to car stop with a whirling noise I got sick of it and had the oem stuff put back onto the car. Just a heads up when buying from these guys

I got in my car :
1- there is sport-comfort tuned (that's what you mean ? )

2- 18'' wheels

3- There is (VGRS) LIGHT show up after I start ( dose that mean I have VGRS ?)


I'm still confused

hey I8ABMR which kind of set you order ? Ceramic or not ?


I can not deal with the original brake anymore
Always be disappointed I think, some times do not stop the car and not between me and the frontal hair
It does not stop the car quickly and always only ABS system works
Front tires always get dirty

I have a friend try this company and I will try (his translation)

I tested Ceramic (Standard) Brake Pads Rotors with the original, but they eaten the Rotors quickly
It was too inconvenient, and did not get power to stop and respond. So I knew it was a bigger issue that just Ceramic Brake Pads.

after

I tried the kit Premium Dimpled and Slotted Brake Rotors with


Experience and observations

· Brake become stronger about 120% - 150%
· Become a faster response by 100%
· The level of brake improves more and more during the first 500 miles. And deliver the best level after 1000 to 1500 miles of use.
· There was a voice I first click on the brakes suddenly and I am on the speed of a few. This is the sound completely disappeared.
· The ABS is not like before. Short distances suggested the car stopped quickly without the need of ABS, but if you accelerator and you need a longer distance to stop, the ABS works, but less than before.
· Wheels are now clean, and there is no point of blackness unit

He wrote this and the car was definite distance of 27,500 miles


Now, wrote notes after drive more than 62,500 miles (100,000 km)


1- · Brake become Performance better than the original about 50%
(It was more when the installation, but began to decrease gradually until reaching a rate of 50% approximately).

2- There is never black dust on Wheels sometimes leave my car in weeks without washing and clean Wheels

3- The sound that came from the original brake disappeared

4- Length-of-life
Not be required for maintenance (from the switch, etc.) for a period of very, very long (gone through years of hard work and intense heat did not move my things in them)

5- For me the best thing that after all this use in the rest of pade 80% as mechanic told me at 50000 miles maintenance and the Rotors as new


his order
Premium Dimpled and Slotted Brake Rotors
Ceramic (Premium) Brake Pads
