I got my Powerslot rotors and EBC green stuff pads installed today so I thought I would share some pic;s of them.




Wave good bye to the tired old stock brakes.

Well the stock ones were getting very worn down so they are a huge
improvement.  Both th epads and rotors are of a better quality
than the oem ones so they should last longer.

On a side note they were very easy to install, about 45mins. a
side.  I was pleasently surprised because most thing I have worked
on take for ever.

Good job...

But right now I'm thinking it looks like christmas;):P

Do a few more focus brakes and you'll get the time down to 20 minuts a side..:D

BTW did you torque them or do what I said I did???

why is it that every other slotted rotor maker except Brembo has the slots facing the other direction?

Ya, I did what you said to do Dan.
The only thing I don't like is the green pads, why can't they make them a better color.
That is strange about the slots going the other direction on the Brembo's.

"Brembo" says it scours the pad surface better and allows for a more
even friction service without glazing.  I was just looking for a
reason why everyone elses are around the other way... very strange.
