Geez... What kind of crazy car are you putting these on? It looks... Different. Like top ten list different...

Aren't you referring to the bottom ten list different?

The list where simply because there are coil overs instead of the factory springs, and 13" rotors instead of the 10" weenies that came on there stock, I am somehow a failure on?

You mean that kind of different?

Now Wait a damn minute,...all you see is a brake rotor,...how can you make a judgement on a whole car just by looking at one rotor?
Hold on,..................................................Do You drive a Cobra?

Lube your sliders and the problem is solved. You should really learn a thing or two about cars, Mike.

Man I love cobra brakes. Those are some funky looking rotor slots. Funky slots for a funky guy I guess!

Unless you plan on going to a road course and working the brakes hard, won't do much.

I test drove the car, and for the first 15 mins or so,...I couldn't hear it. ( I also went very easy on stopping as well).

It may have to do with your improper pad break in procedure.

1: 6 to 10 moderate stops from 35 MPH down to 5 MPH, don't stop the car. Do them in quick succession. DO NOT LOCK UP THE BRAKES!

2: 2 to 3 hard stops from 45 MPH down to 5 MPH, again, don't stop the car and do them in quick succession. DO NOT LOCK UP THE BRAKES!

3: Park the car and let the brakes cool off for at least an hour. When you park the car do not keep your foot on the brake pedal any longer than required to park the car.

This will not work on old surfaced pads and rotors. The pads must be unglazed (new) and the rotors must be new or a fresh resurface.

For brakes to work optimally you need to initially transfer a slight amount of pad material to the rotor in a specific fashion.

Knowing this makes me feel a little better about putting Stop Tech rotors and pads on my Stang.

I've noticed on a lot of cop chase videos that the guys being chased always seem to have one of two things happen to their car (unless the PITT is used). They either overheat and blow up or their brakes appear to fail.

You just never know when you might need those slots....
