Do you have it on stock rotors? I ordered them with the sport slotted rotors and is it only loud on start up? I was told after they warm up you dont hear them:s Did I make a mistake???

Do we have anyone running Gunmetal rims on a VR here? I'm sure we do, I am just too lazy to search through 200 pages of thread to see.
I am thinking about painting my stock rims, because I'm a broke high school/college kid, and was deciding what color to go with. I feel like every modded import car has black rims on it right now, but I feel like gunmetal might be enough of a contrast to make it stand out a little more.

[quote=Mazda_RX804;3892594]Do they stop well? I heard the braking power from the pads are really good and much much less brake dust.
initial brake in dust is real bad but is to be expected. I have no dust now and they have saved me from a near deer attack(In western new york, you dont hit deer...they hit you
) just dont like the squeal that i still get from after putting over 1k miles on them(drove from montana to new york and back to montana)...but like i said before it is only for about 5 min into the drive....just sucks when you gotta stop 20 times in that 5 minutes and your breaks squeal everytime

Damn that's a lot of meat for a tire. From experience I can tell you when I had 275s there was a lot of rolling resistance and weight from way larger tires that slowed the car down. Unless you have some serious increase in torque. ![Wink](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Sure does look good though. You plan on lowering hoss?
