Sooo... did you do something to the max? lol

Drilled rotors are like spoilers. It's hard to tell the useless fakes from the real ones. It weakens em and makes for a good way to develop cracks.

Buuuut - unless sammich tracks his max, there is no downside to this. Besides they look kinda cool. (Which is kinda ironic since the "look" was inspired by race cars lol)

Pads: yea its all a balance between price, stopping power, noise, and dust. Then again, I guess that can be said for just about anything (except women - in that case it's a lose-lose situation no matter what lol)
