Muahahahaha, New Brakes on order

With my new position at work... I have A LOT of free time. So much that there is now an impression of my forehead on the desk from me smacking it so much.

Anyway... among my endless roaming of the internet, I have ran across something that has caught my interest. So now I'm thinking of ordering myself a set and holding onto them till my Brembos go kaput. Or double check their condition and sell them.

it's not more advantageous it's just more bling.

I saw that it said that, but regular slotted rotors do the same thing. Plus I assume this list is in comparison to regular blank rotors. So how is the dimamond design better than the angled stright line? because those do the same think listed above.

Yeah... I need a bunch of money to rebuild my motor and tranny. It's something I might keep in mind down the road though.

Which it's that far down the road. A co-worker is going to buy my old setup from my Frontier. I'm going to use the money to buy the Rotors, Pads, and a set of SS lines.

Thanks Matt... My jaw dropped when Edwin gave me those prices.
