Danyol, The real issue with PCCBs isnt' if they'll work or not, but rather how expensive they are to replace. Although they seem to last longer than steel rotors, the replacement cost is what will hurt... Buy a set of steel rotors and run them for less than $800 shipped for all four rotors!

Are the calipers in this kit the same as the ones I have, with all the PCCB naysayers (though mine show no signs of wear yet, 2 track days), will I be able to retrofit steel rotors with the existing calipers?

Just received my Big Yellows and am looking forward to having them installed. I decided on Pagid yellows up front and Pagid blacks on the rears.

I'll try but I only have a phone camera and I'm a computer barbarian. Installation will be in a couple more weeks.

I'll borrow my brother's digital camera and e-mail you the pics Manny and then you can post them for me. That much I know how to do. I don't know why the chat rooms make you jump through 10 hoops to post pictures. I thought computers were supposed to make things quick and easy. One click is easy, 10 is a pain in the ****, especially with my memory and lack of computer savvy.

SeattleDL....how long did the install take?

Kevin, have all the components arrived at the UMW Skunkworks (Brake Kit, Pads, RS Motor mounts)? What Pads did you spec for me, remembering no racing only swift street driving?
