I'd decided to use it as it is, since Chris checked it out to be ok, and do without servicing. Ran in the brake pad-rotor contours and had a blast up the Batu Feringghi touge last night to test them out.
Performance thus far is still dull, I suppose they're still running in. But the pedal feel is getting better and better so I guess its not long to go before I can touge all out! I miss the touge indefinitely... Although, I have to say, the calipers stayed cool to the touch even after a hard drive. These buggers are the shiznit! (got the cliche off an old movie :P)
Here's how they compare to my old discs. Psst... The rusty ones are my "new" discs.
And this is how it looks installed within my 17". I have to say, I love the "fullness" it brings, about how it fills out the wheels.
Due to my excitement and bouncing around during installation and cracking stupid jokes with Tommy, I didn't get many pics. I hope these suffice.
This was a mod based on need rather than want... (My old discs cracked, and another set warped and FUBAR). Just sad that I had to spend so much on this item. I hope it'll be worthwhile. Will get to know this weekend... *sly smile*

Hahaha...
How's it feel???
good???!!!
It feels great... A very convenient mod too... Just plug'n'play :)
Braking distance in touge is almost the same, but I'm still running on the pads that came with the rotors 'tho. May be better after a change :)
But lacks pedal feel, or I'm just not used to it yet :P
OOO...
Normal for every mod ...
sure can get to it in no time!!!
twin pot in the banana~! wahahaha. i also just found our a faulty lower arm bush at my front. good thing you give up the TE project bro, lot's of works to done on my mango yet :P
till then~ cheers
Hi Tank: No doubts about that... I'm started to get the feel of later braking points and proper braking in the straights :P
Hi Dennis: Actually my "Pooh Project" (as they called it) wasn't meant to be as perfect as what you'd done with "Mango". Mine was a pure touge machine thus not having air cond, no power steering and no interior. The car also had lousy suspension and no repairs were done, it's basically just a tool for me to learn RWD driving style.
