None yet as it is recommended you take it easy on the new brakes for the first 100 miles or so. I will let everyone know the difference once I start pushing them.

Those look great. Did you keep the stock pads or do you need brand new ones?

Decided to keep the stock pads since they are so new. Will probably go with some EBC Green stuff later on.

I weighed these last week and I believe they were around 18-20lbs. If you want, I can weigh them again Monday! Have a great night everyone, if you need me, you know how to reach me!

Rotors look great! I'd guess that you probably won't notice much of a difference in braking unless you are really working them hard for an extended period. Them they may have less fade. Track time will probably show a noticeable difference. But they look danm good!
