how long were they used?

(and just out of curiousity, do you feel the need to replace the rotors? some folks have told me that with 38k on the clock, my rotors should be replaced SOON. and if they'll only last 'til about 50k, then might as well. just doesn't seem that a lot of folks replace rotors out of need, you know?) thanks!

the pads have ~800 miles on them. I replaced my performance model brakes with track brakes recently and thus have no need for these pads. 38k is a lot of mileage on stock rotors. best bet is to bring the car to a trusted shop and have them measure the rotor to see how much life is left.

aight, cool. I'll take the pads. You're in Arlington, right? I live downtown, but work in Reston/Tysons. What do you think?

If you are just looking to reduce dust I agree to just buy pads that produce less dust such as Green Stff or Red Stff pads.

If you are set on getting a BBK and still looking for recommendations I have have had two types on my car thus far. Wilwood has a great set for a reasonable price big 14" roters and 6p calipers on Front and 4p in rear. I am now running Endess brakes that stop on a freaking dime buy are more than twice the cost of the Wilwoods. Dust on either application is always going to come down to pads however. You can pick up either of these BBK at Evolution Autosports in Chantilly 703-961-9090 ask for Steve.
