Which rotors? Link? And why did you go with the EBC 700 pads instead of something else? My front rotors are a bit warped, although my pads all around are fine. Probably going to replace them all next year, so the more info on what others are using (and why), the better to help with my own purchase decision.

Shipping to a lot of time, I only have the rotors in. The pad set should be in today. I have to say the quality of the ebc rotors are top notc, they have cooling fins made in the rotor housing and not just slots like other manufactures and the contact are has a nice diamond cut on the surface. Posting pics soon.

Yes, where are the pics? I just looked on Amazon and saw they were even cheaper there. The reviews from partsgeek.com seem pretty sketchy to me. I noticed there were positive reviews for literally every single item they list, and those reviews are just the same thing over and over about the website, not the individual product.
