Feedback on BSI Brakes
I haven't seen much from the folks who participated in their group buy a while back, so I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. I bought their drilled and slotted rotors (cryo treated, zinc plated), along with the Hawk ceramic pads. I didn't get around to installing them until a couple of weeks ago. So far, I'm very pleased - there's no vibration or pulsing, so the rotors seem very true, and they look nice. I bought the ceramic pads to hopefully cut down on dust. There was some dust for the first couple of days, but now I've driven 3 days since I last washed the car, and there's almost no dust at all, and no noise, either. I also installed Earl's stainless steel brake lines and used Valvoline DOT-4 synthetic brake fluid. Pedal feel is great and she stops on a dime now.
At any rate, I'm happy with the result, and $299 seemed like a good deal. They also offered slotted-only rotors, which many say are a better choice for a car that sees track time (mine doesn't).

I bought the slotted only zinc plated rotors. (C5 frt. & C4 rear)
They look real nice, but I haven't got them on yet.
I still need to get the adapter brackets.
I am happy with what I got and I had no problems with them. A good place to do business with.
