they are just super consistent (almost as consistent as door handle carrier failure...almost) which i appreciate in this case. this has honestly been one of my favorite brake setups yet. it's very 'civilized'. I paired them with Centric Hi-Carbon rotors from TireRack. Like I said, the combo has been great. I get the very occasional squeak or two...but I didn't put much grease or antisqueal on the pads when installing. I will get the same setup when the time comes for the rears to be changed.

Good to hear.
I like the CC pads so much, I'm considering a StopTech BBK kit for the Viper, just so I can run CC pads on it (CC doesn't produce pads that fit the OE Brembo Viper setup)!

Figured I would post pics of how the BrakeLabs zinc plating has held up on the rotor hats. 10 months/10k miles of use and still look new.

Yeah, I should have replaced them when I refinished the calipers.
I'm picking up a new set of clips on my next trip to Classic BMW, need to pick up an oil filter next week.

Did your rotors rust already?or do they just rust after a wash?

The friction surfaces get a light film of rust after each wash, the first drive deposits the rust in the slots/holes and on the outer diameter.

Hit them with a wire wheel and paint them, will be better than new.

Kevinkay has seen scoring and signs of overheating running Akebono pads.
Posting pics so he can see what mine look like with over 1.5 yrs and 20k miles of use, HARD use a few weeks ago (hot lapping Sebring track with 5 people in the X & a few hard stops from over 130 mph to 50 mph).....
