Default new rotors!

Just got my rotors Tuesday and tried to put the drivers front on and the one of the caliper pins was frozen. I was able to put it back together so i could go to my friends shop today. tried to heat it and still twisted it in half. new brackets and hardware tomorrow. i was able to install all the rest. good thing i am not working tomorrow,
also I bought them on Ebay, Monday at 10am and they came Tuesday at noon. go fedX.

WOW what a difference!! i never liked my gs's brakes. they were mushy and faded. now with the new pads and rotors, but the new caliper bracket and pins the brakes are amazing.

Best thing i have done to the car.

also i drove it the shield on the rear drivers side started to grind on the rotor. so i had to remove the rotor again. a lot easier now.
