They waived the fee for registering late (less than 2 weeks prior) - which was nice. Now I just need to get my new pads and rotors installed.

The late fee for OTD has been lifted until July 1st. Get registered and save $50.

Thekinn=1, Belle Tire=0
I beat them in small claims court and they paid up. I cashed the check today for the price of the wheels and the filing fee. Case closed. 
Now I can start shopping for some new wheels again. This whole situation has turned me off of the Work CR Kai's. I still like them, but they would always remind me of this b.s. I had to put up with.
Thanks for the support. Always take pictures of your high priced items. Before, during, after service (I did, it helped a lot). Never sign for something that you are not satisfied with. Never patronize Belle Tire.

Have any of you guys done brakes before? Specifically pads and rotors?
I did mine this weekend and went on my test drive. I notice that the pads are rubbing just a little while driving (without braking). The wheel would still spin when the car was up, but it would rub just a little. I hoped it would go away after the first 1 or 2 uses of the brakes. Maybe I'm being too cautious and should try to drive a little more to see if it works it's way out. I only drove about 1/10th of a mile not above 25mph.
However, I'm guessing this is because I reused my shims and shim covers. or I'm being too cautious. What do you think?
Powerslot - slotted rotors. Project Mu B-force pads. OEM, non-brembo calipers.

Thanks for the reply. I assume that you did not experience this rubbing afterwards
