Changed my rotors today to fix some steering wheel wobble under high speed braking.
Turned out to have some nicely seized and unevenly worn brake pads.
So full on brake job for my front end today.... yaaay!!
Old on the right. New on the left.
Old ones looked fine on the outside.
Inside.... Not so much..
Cleaned up the hubs and oil sprayed what I could
The black rotors look nice with the orange calipers
Too bad the steelies hide them unless you look close

The old ones or new ones?
Old ones were from Canadian tire(hardware/tire & garage).
New ones, A shop close to where I work. They're nothing special. But they're solid, look decent, and work great. Plus I got a great deal of 90$ cash for two fronts. No complaints so far

Dropped Lucy off at the body shop today, get the dents pulled out, paint and new sideskirt on the passenger side. Getting the damage fixed from rubbing a low cobblestone wall on a mountain road, going all of four miles an hour. I know the shop, they have done good work for me before, so fingers crossed, but I'm confident it'll be good.
The damn Dodge Avenger my insurance is paying for is a royal POS though, feels like I'm driving a dead fish. Hope Lucy's repairs are quicker than the week they estimated.

New additions...
Gunmetal valve cover with red splatter to match the blower
Red open ended lugnuts with arp extended studs (had to go 1/2" spacers in rear for less rubs)
Carbon fiber ss badges and steering wheel badge
N2m the recent headunit and alacantsra wheel wrap, and white led everythang.
Id say its all worth ~40whp

Hopefully this one is reliable for a long time.
