Talking Just got my Bradi rotors installed!

Well I finally had my Bradi crossdrilled slotted rotors put on today with the Axis semimetallic pads and boy what a difference.
First impression is that they are so smooth and soft stopping. I haven't really hit them hard yet but they seem so nice driving around the city. They have a great feel when stopping and they arent that loud at all. I was surprised because when I had crossdilled on my old car they a bit louder than stock but these seem the same.
As the process proceeds in breaking them in I will update the post. If anyone is looking for a nice set of rotors and pads without spending thousands these are the way to go IMO.
I wil post a pic later.

I bought the front pads and rotors for no wbecause the backs were fine and that is the setup Ihad on my old car it worked good.
As for the cost of these they were $213 with tax and shipping to me.

congrats. can we see?
Ya Jim I will post a pic either tonight or tommorrow.

I do have a question though. It seems like when I am on the highway and slow down from higher speeds they are pulsating? Is this normal for new rotors or is there something wrong?

I put mine on last week all four corners and noticed a sound coming from the brakes when braking kinda like a clicking when the slots go over the pad. Does anyone else here this? I can only hear it with the top down or the window open and the radio has to be off?

i get the same thing! bradi rotors with ebc pads. its in the front. I hear a high speed clicking noise.... i usually drive with the windows up and never notice it...


as for jeff's pulsing, not sure. u may want to check if they need to be bleed. or your caliper is bad.
