    Hey all ...

    I just wanted to post pics of my new GSM Slotted/Drilled Rotors w/Low Dust Carbon Ceramic Pads.


    I would like to thank DanRealtor for a great job. I called before GSM's group buy, Dan refunded me the difference of the money instantly.

    Install was cut and dry, no problems at all ... the quality was great, the performance is incredible too though I haven't pushed the car hard after install. It took me 2 hours for install with a lift.

    Enjoy ...

    Anthony - those "look" really good. I'll be curious to hear your analysis of how they feel under continuous heavy braking.

    I have them and have been told (not sure if its true) that they are really R1 rotors. Mine have been flawless for months now and I did the GS6 pads with them which took a while to bed in but no squeeling and stop great

    Mine have never got the "SOFT" pedal feel due to heat and several cycles of severe braking, now not sure if its the pads, rotors or due to both but again no problems here.

    I was about to say that, because they really do look identical.

    I went the cheap way and had my factory Brembo slots turned by the Dealer...we'll see how long they last before they start to warp. If yours hold up well they may be a good choice for me when I need to replace my rotors.

    The reason I said they look the same is because I have the R1 rotors on my car. I am not certain that they are the same though.

    Well considering R1 is only ohhh 10 miles or so from GSM you dont need sherlock holmes on the case.

    GSM is in Santa Fe Springs, CA and R1 is located in La Habra, CA

    Glad you're happy

    Glad you are happy with your Drilled & Slotted Rotors & Low Dust Pads. They look great. You will LOVE the lack of Brake Dust. This past weekend we took the Challenger (with the new pads & rotors) up to Las Vegas for the Drift Competition. The Wheels were still clean when we got there!!! What a nice change. A black car NOT covered in Brake Dust!!!

    Enjoy the lack of Brake Dust and get back to me when you need more goodies and I'll give you the same great customer service.

    Thanks for the props,


    Dan

    Forgot to mention that as well, Thanks Dan and again for your help back when I ordered them you really took care of me. The brake dust is minimal, heck I hardly get any on the back wheels at all anymore and maybe once a week wipe down the front wheels.
    Dan FTW

    Really, and the braking is at least as good as stock?? You've got my attention now. What is a set running for?

    I did have a little squeeling issues and it took over a 1,000 miles for the GS6 pads to finally bed in (well it could have been to install error, I did melt the backing pads-LOL) but after replacing them all was good. Bud I swear they stop great and very, very little dust you can take some Turtle wax Ice detail spray and clean the stock wheels and they shine like they were professionally polished for hours, about 90% comes off with hitting with a water hose. I saw a vid on mustangtrends.com of me leaving the Hooters show last Saturday and the sunlight was hitting the wheels just right and I was like DAMN those look great, easiest wheels I have ever cleaned (never buy hi-polished forged alum wheels EVER)

    Yeah man ... I got my set for $775 with pads .. I found the pads online for like $250 too so ...

    I will confirm that my car stops the same if not better as before and I have like 5% of the original brake dust ...
