WRX Sellout
Installed some slotted Brembo rear rotors this weekend, along with some Hawk HPS pads at all 4 corners.
A photo of the old rotors:
This is how bad the old pads were. I wish I had taken a better pic, the pads were nearly worn away in the rear. The fronts had some heat stress cracks in them:

The new rotors and pads (sorry for the dark pic):
A view of the assembly through the wheel:
The install wasn't too bad. Had to do some drilling to get the ghey screws out of the rear rotors. We had some problems getting the emergency brake reset, but nothing crazy. Anyway, it stops like a dream now. Plus, all the noise that was happening because of the low pads is gone. Many thanks to lsvtec and 93solman for their help this weekend.
As a bonus, here is a pic of what camber does to your tires (without much toe, I have a lifetime alignment at Firestone and get it aligned all the time):
It didn't help the the Kuhmo's wear like crap. But the moral of the story is: Get a camber kit kids!
