Brake Motive
Been reading the reviews from other members but had some questions I didn't see answered.
1. Are the rotors stock size?
2. Did you use the pads they supplied or did you upgrade?
3. How many miles do you have on them?
Thanks in advance guys. I understand tires and brakes are the only two things that make you stop so I don't want to cheap out on but for the price and reviews, seems like these are a steal.

I've been using them for 2 or 3k miles. They saw one track day and the supplied pads faded the 2nd or 3rd time I got on them. Not surprised though. I kept it easy the rest of the day, but for a daily no track time I don't see an issue.

I don't even remember how long ago I installed them. They are on several years now, used the supplied pads and I have had absolutely no problems with them, they still look as good as new. I have noticed occasionally when driving extra hard they could use a little extra bite, but otherwise under normal driving they work perfectly fine. I would still highly recommend them. I intend to use them on my other daily driver. BTW, I do quite a lot of miies on my Vette.

They fit perfectly and used the pads supplied...a little over two years now...low dusting, still shine and bite real well. AND no cracks.
