Then this cruise isnt for you. Everytime I go to one of these meets with a cruise it ends up being a race. People are usually 10-15mph over the limit just cruising, then you have the occasionally burst of WOT runs. The meet that we had 2 years ago wasn't too bad but last year was a lot faster.
But im not going to be flying around all over on a cruse, a cruse is a cruse not a race.

Yeah, LOL... they told me it was just normal wear and tear... im like, what about the rust stains on my wheels, they said that it was from it sitting, and that rust is normal. Then I'm like, what about the grinding? And they said it was normal, and they proceeded to print out the TSB for the front brakes squeeling, so I was like, what about the premature pad wear, and they said high performance brakes wear faster, and that I was prolly abusing it. and I was like, f*ck it, I'm outta here.

Whats the price Tom? I might check into R1 too. The front rotors are developing a nice lip on them as well. THAT, I would somewhat expect, but not at 19k miles. So, if I am going to do it, I am going to do all 4 and all new pads.
Here's what ya do... go to Uh-Oh Zone and buy the cheapest Solstice pads they have, and put them right on the bad rotors. I have had no issues with mine since then, and have actually been smoothing out the rotor a little bit. they do squeel and moan for the first couple thousand miles, and when wet under light braking. I have just been dragging the ebrake some to clean them and bed them up nice. They really work great until I get the money to do it the right way.
