I didnt know you had to 'break them in'. Dont forget the cross-drilled brake lines too!

break them in just like any other brake setup!
do some mild stoping and allow some time between stoping for them to cool and get gradualy harder stops and youll be fine...

where ya buy some sloted/drilled rotors?

ive been looking for some for my 99 civic but i can only find SLOTED or DRILLED rotors i have some drilled on the car now BUT i dont know how good they are... and well i like the looks of sloted/drilled rotors more!

do they look like they're good quality (or if you've driven with them already, are they good quality)? I need to replace my rotors (holy warped rotors, batman! lol) and I was thinking about getting the Summits... I mean,youcan't really beat$180 for all 4 and Summit Racing's borderline free shipping.
