No shims on the rear pads? Should really take them off your stock ones and put them on the rears...

EBC Sport Dimpled and Slotted rotors...
they lost some shine and got scratched a bit after break-in last night...
break-in vide was basically the 2nd clip in the "Guess what exhaust this is (Crazy Loud)" Thread in the exhaust/intake section of the forum lol...

I am going to install my brakes today, actually they are the ones you passed up on a couple of weeks ago LOL. I painted with very high temp paint w/ ceramic the the top of the pads and rotor hubs flat black though to prevent rust and today will do the same to my calipers. I think once its all painted, new stoptech lines installed and fluid replaced with valvoline synth I will feel a big difference. Did you feel a difference in you brakes or stopping distance? Install seems pretty easy, never done it before but am willing to do my-self, always feel better knowing that I might take a little longer and did something right then take chances on someone else doing something wrong, I had a bad experience with my mustang and one of my buddies doing a wrong install on the brakes 
What size rims are those? They make the rotors look small. I will post pics on my install maybe 2morrow.
