upgraded: rotors / brake pads
well if have seen my posts around.. u would know that i have been complaining about a really annoying brake problem.. my brakes squeek first of all.. .. i have to press the brake alteast halfway down to get any kind of brake grip.. and wen the brakes are pressed quick n firmly.. (NOT activating ABS) they make loud groaning noises.. this is definitly more loud in hotter weather.
to solve this problem i just got my AEM/NISSIN brake pads (optauto.com), and brembo Crossdrilled Slotted Rotors (irotors.com) ... they are gonna get installed tommorow morning.. ill repost after i test them out
